Keckonen V. Robles

In Ontiveros v. Borak, 136 Ariz. 500, 667 P.2d 200 (1983) the Arizona Supreme Court held that tavern owners and other licensed sellers of intoxicating liquor may be held liable when they sell liquor to an intoxicated customer under circumstances where the licensee or his employees know or should know that such conduct creates an unreasonable risk of harm to others who may be injured either on or off the premises. In this case we are asked to extend this liability to persons other than licensed sellers of liquor.*fn1 We decline to do so and hold that the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to defendants Neil's Detroit Diesel, Inc. (Neil's), James L. Bennett and Mary H. Bennett, husband and wife, and Ralph P. Casillas and Diana K. Casillas, husband and wife.
