Relevant factsFree
A group of drunken men who had been drinking at Mar-Cam's (defendant) bar for two and a half hours started a fight with patron Stachniewicz (plaintiff), injuring him; Stachniewicz sued alleging the bar violated an Oregon regulation requiring bar owners to prevent recurrence of bar-related abuses, but the trial court found for Mar-Cam.
IssueFree
Whether violation of a regulation requiring bar owners to prevent the recurrence of abuses associated with bars is negligence per se if the violation resulted in harm to a patron due to a fight at the bar caused by a group of drunken people.
