Tango v. Tulevech green
ny · 1983
2 sentences

2001First, the Lauer Court observed that a ministerial breach by a governmental employee, as we have here, merely removes the issue of governmental immunity, but is not necessarily tortious (see, Tango v Tulevech, supra, 61 NY2d, at 40 ).

2001It is clear that the duty breached must be more than that owed the public generally, or a breach of the duty to use due care for the benefit of particular persons or classes of persons (Lauer, id., at 100-101 ).
