Supreme Court of California

Under the pleaded facts, which allege defendant charged an entrance fee to some guests (including a minor who subsequently, in a drunken state, killed someone in an automobile accident), payment of which entitled guests to drink the provided alcoholic beverages, there is a triable issue of fact whether defendant sold alcoholic beverages, or caused them to be sold, within the meaning of California Business and Professions Code section 25602.1, rendering her potentially liable under the terms of that statute as a person who sold alcohol to an obviously intoxicated minor.
