ALBANY – A drug-testing laboratory can be held liable for the extra time an offender spent on probation because it falsely reported that he had tested positive for marijuana, a widely divided state Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.
Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman (See Profile) wrote for the 4-3 majority in Landon v. Kroll Laboratory Specialists, 142, that the laboratory should not evade responsibility for its allegedly negligent testing of Eric Landon’s sample.
