Landlord Liable for All Damages in Saloon Case
Illinois Supreme Court through Justice Farmer reverses Hedlund v Geyer, holding landlords jointly liable with other property owners for damages from saloon operations. Ruling extends liability beyond own tenant to all buildings used for saloons, affecting cases of intoxication regardless of where sales occur. Experts say the decision threatens the saloon business and may complicate landlord duties. The decision predicts difficulty in obtaining saloon properties and raises broad implications for property owners leasing to drink establishments. The summer college term opens July 6 with expected strong enrollment.
