Murrow v. Penney

Summary

The Supreme Court of Oklahoma affirmed the district court’s summary‑judgment ruling, holding that Oklahoma law does not impose a duty on a private event venue to third parties injured by a voluntarily intoxicated adult who was not over‑served. The court reasoned that the duty recognized in dram‑shop cases applies only to alcohol vendors and that no statutory or special‑relationship basis exists for liability against The Springs Events, LLC. It also affirmed that the motion to dismiss and summary‑judgment orders are reviewed de novo.
