Bonner v. American Golf Corp. of California

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court answered the certified question, holding that ORS 471.565(1) does not violate the Remedy Clause of Article I, section 10 of the Oregon Constitution when applied to a plaintiff who voluntarily consumes alcohol, even if visibly intoxicated, provided the plaintiff had not lost the sense of reason and volition. The court interpreted the statute narrowly and applied the Horton framework to conclude the statute is constitutional.
