Civil & Criminal LiabilityQuestion 83 of 100
In Ennabe v. Manosa (2014), the California Supreme Court extended §25602.1 civil liability to whom?
a.A social host (party thrower) who charged admission and provided alcohol to an obviously intoxicated minor who later caused a fatal crash
b.Any social host who provides any alcohol to any guest
c.Police officers who failed to arrest a drunk driver
d.Rideshare companies that drove an intoxicated patron home
Explanation
Ennabe v. Manosa, 58 Cal.4th 697 (2014), held that a social host who charged an entry fee at a party (and thus 'sold' alcohol within the meaning of §25602.1) could be civilly liable when alcohol was furnished to an obviously intoxicated minor who later killed someone in a DUI crash. The decision reinforces that §25602.1's MINOR exception applies broadly when alcohol is sold or served — including at non-licensed parties — to underage drinkers showing visible signs of intoxication.
