Notes of Decisions

Knowledge of the prospective purchaser’s age is not required for suspension of a license to sell liquor for violation of this section. Plaid Pantries, Inc. v. Ore. Liquor Control Comm., 16 Or App 199, 517 P2d 1192 (1974)

One of purposes of this section is to protect safety and health of people of state, including persons who may be killed or injured by inebriated minors. Davis v. Billy’s Con-Teena, Inc., 284 Or 351, 587 P2d 75 (1978)

Where complaint alleged that tavern owners sold kegs of beer to two minors without requiring proof of age, and that decedent was killed by automobile driven by another minor who consumed beer from the kegs and became intoxicated, allegation was sufficient to state cause of action of negligence per se for violation of this section. Davis v. Billy’s Con-Teena, Inc., 284 Or 351, 587 P2d 75 (1978)
