435 N.E.2d 1095

450 N.Y.S.2d 480

Opinion

Decided April 1, 1982

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, ANDREW TYLER, J.

Alan Serrins for appellants.

Robert M. Ziskin for respondents.

On review of submissions pursuant to rule 500.2 (b) of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 N.Y.CRR 500.2 [b]), order, insofar as appealed from, reversed, with costs, and the compensatory damage award of the New York City Commission on Human Rights reinstated. The evidence of pain, suffering and mental anguish produced in this case to prove compensatory damages was sufficient to support the commission's determination on that issue ( Batavia Lodge No. 196, Loyal Order of Moose v New York State Div. of Human Rights, 35 N.Y.2d 143).

Concur: Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER.
