Social events are a staple of business and personal lives. Along with the opportunities to enjoy conversation, food and drinks comes the concern of host liability for both work and personal events where alcohol is served. To help you navigate your responsibilities at work and home, please see our latest edition of the Bennett Jones Host Liability guide which provides an introduction to host liability. We review the law, show the risks and lay out steps for employers to take to better protect employees, clients, the company, and, most of all, the general public when it comes to hosting social events.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
