FACTS:
David
attended a graduation party hosted by a friend of his, William. Williams
parents, at Williams request, agreed to stay out of sight of his guests and
they were not seen all evening. They stayed in a guest cottage on the property,
watching television and drinking martinis. They were oblivious to the fact that
David was severely beaten by one of the guests, Peter, who has a vicious temper
when he has been drinking. Peter was always jealous of David and didnt like
him at all, but Peter never had the courage to act on his resentment until the
party at Williams house. David, who was not expecting to be assaulted and who
has no self-defense skills, was badly injured. All of the attendees were under
the legal drinking age, but everyone brought the liquor that was consumed at
Williams party. How that liquor was purchased has never been disclosed.
Davids
injuries resulted in medical bills exceeding $100,000 and wants them to be paid
by William. Davids parents have filed a civil law suit against Williams
parents. You have been retained by Williams parents to defend them by
presenting a joint liability defense.
Discuss
the likelihood of Williams joint liabili
ty defense against Davids parents.
