The law isn't quite as big of an ass as I thought...

Last January I blogged about how someone here in Canada was sueing the host of a party at which someone got inebriated and then drove home, injuring this woman. It was this person's position that the host of the party was responsible for the actions of his guests, was therefore negligent in allowing that person to drive, and therefore was fair game for a law suit where she sued for millions of dollars in damages. Last Friday the Supreme Court of Canada handed out their findings, and at last some sense in the law has been shown: individual adults are responsible for their own actions; the host of a party cannot be expected to babysit their guests, and therefore cannot be negligent in the evnt that one fo their guests chooses drive whilw under the influence of alcohol.

Bravo is what I say. It's about time some common sense was applied to the law, and people started taking responsibility for their own actions. The idiot who chose to drive while drunk is the guilty party here, no one else. And before I get flammed for this, remember: I'm writing this as a teetoal who thinks that there should be 0 tolerance for drunk-drivers.

We now return to our usual, more technical, babblings...
