HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TORRES ARIZONA SUPREME COURT DECISION AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR ARIZONA LICENSEES
Pete Schelstraete has previously described the Court opinion in Torres v JAI Dining services, Inc., the Arizona Supreme Court case that re-established limitations on dram shop liability in Arizona. ALBA thanks Pete for representing Arizona retail licensees’ interest on this very important subject regarding liquor
liability. We wanted to take the opportunity again to emphasize the positive changes that will result from the Torres decision.

ALBA was successful in having the statute passed in 1986. After the statute was passed, a series of Arizona Supreme Court decisions invalidated its provisions. Now, the Arizona Supreme Court has had the opportunity to take a fresh look at the statute and has determined that it is constitutional. It is now fully part of Arizona’s liquor laws, and provides both fairness to licensees, and consequences to individuals who drink to the point of becoming intoxicated.
