Patterson v. Thunder Pass, Inc.

OPINION

WINTHROP, Presiding Judge.

¶ 1 Peter Patterson appeals the trial court’s summary judgment in favor of Thunder Pass, Inc. (“Thunder Pass”), and dismissal with prejudice of his complaint alleging dram shop liability. The issues are whether a tavern fulfilled its duty of reasonable care by driving an intoxicated patron home and whether the patron’s return to the tavern constituted a superseding, intervening event that broke the chain of proximate causation, thereby relieving the tavern of subsequent liability. For the following reasons, we affirm the judgment.
