I. INTRODUCTION
The primary issues addressed in this negligence case are: (1) Whether John and A. Jake Mladinich, proprietors of a Biloxi restaurant and tavern, breached their duty to provide James Lyle, the patron or invitee, with reasonable security from criminal acts committed by third parties in the business parking lot, and (2) Whether this alleged breach was the proximate cause of Lyle's injuries. In the Harrison County Circuit Court, the trial judge resolved this issue through summary judgment in favor of the Mladiniches, and Lyle appealed. This Court reverses.
