Abstract

With the release of the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision in Paton Estate, the possibility was left open for a casino to be found to owe a duty of care to patrons who gamble excessively. This article explores the circumstances under which the Anns/Cooper framework could be applied to find that such a duty exists. Specifically, where the gambler is a member of a casino’s customer loyalty program, thereby imputing knowledge of extreme gambling behaviour on the casino, and where the casino has no reason to believe the patron’s losses are sustainable, a duty of care should be imposed. Liability should follow in cases where the casino knowingly contributed to or deliberately ignored these losses.

赌场什么时候应该对他们的顾客负有照顾义务?
随着安大略省上诉法院对帕顿庄园案的判决的公布,赌场有可能被发现对过度赌博的顾客负有注意义务。本文探讨了在何种情况下可以应用Anns/Cooper框架来发现这种义务的存在。具体来说,如果赌徒是赌场客户忠诚度计划的成员,从而将极端赌博行为的知识归咎于赌场,并且赌场没有理由相信客户的损失是可持续的,则应该施加注意义务。在赌场故意造成或故意忽视这些损失的情况下,应承担责任。
