You're going to have a party at your house. Your friends will bring their own alcohol and/or recreational drugs. What if one of your friends gets intoxicated, leaves your house, gets into their car, drives away, and then gets into an accident with another car, killing the driver and severely injuring the passenger in that car. Your friend had minor injuries. Did you (i.e. the host of the party) have a "duty of care" to the driver that died and the passenger that was injured? Please do some research (e.g. Canlii, Google) and find a Canadian legal case on this issue. Provide the name of the case, year and which court decided the case. Then provide a brief overview of the facts, the legal test for duty of care, and explain what the court decided.
