FACT PATTERN:
Margaret gave her daughter, a high school student, permission to have a party at her house. She was not home when the party was taking place. Margaret never kept alcohol in her house, there was none on the premises when she left, and she did not permit her daughter to drink. She did not see anyone consuming alcohol before she left. One of the guest, Darren, brought beer to the party which he consumed. Although he did not appear drunk when he left the party, due to his intoxication he negligently drove his car into another car, causing injuries to the driver. Is Margaret liable for the injuries cause by Darren?
