Licencees and servers today are still impacted by a landmark decision handed down by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1973. The case was Jordan House Hotel Ltd. versus Menow.

Menow had a history of becoming drunk and obnoxious at the defendant’s hotel. He had previously been banned. After the ban was lifted, the hotel employees were instructed not to serve Menow unless he was accompanied by a responsible person. On the night of the accident, Menow arrived with two other people, both of whom left early. From 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm Menow drank alone, becoming visibly intoxicated. When he bothered other patrons, staff ejected him. Menow was given a ride part of the way home and continued on foot, staggering along the highway, where he was hit by a car. Menow sued both the driver and the hotel. He claimed that the hotel had an obligation to take reasonable care to protect him, in his intoxicated condition, from personal injury.
