Civil & Criminal LiabilityQuestion 83 of 100
In Ennabe v. Manosa (2014), the California Supreme Court extended §25602.1 civil liability to whom?
a.Police officers who failed to arrest a drunk driver
b.A social host (party thrower) who charged admission and provided alcohol to an obviously intoxicated minor who later caused a fatal crash
c.Any social host who provides any alcohol to any guest
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.
