I've long criticized a silly judgment in New York state court that the Port Authority was 68% responsible for the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center, potentially putting them on the hook for $1.8 billion in damages.

The good news is that today the New York Court of Appeal struck down that decision, reversing lower courts; the bad news is that the decision was only 4-3, and on the narrow ground of governmental immunity under New York statutes, rather than any sort of rational interpretation of the principle of causation.
