Banwart v. 50th Street Sports, L.L.C. d/b/a Draught House 50
April 18, 2018
Under Iowa Code § 123.92(1)(a), a plaintiff must demonstrate that a defendant licensee or permittee, sold and served alcohol to an allegedly intoxicated person (AIP) when it knew or should have known that the AIP was intoxicated or would become intoxicated, and that the AIP's intoxication proximately caused the plaintiff's injury.
