Summary:
The plaintiff, Robinson, was assaulted by the defendant, Lewis, at a New Year's Eve party hosted by the defendant, Storshin, in his home. Lewis was convicted of aggravated assault. Robinson sued Storshin as homeowner and as host, alleging that he was negligent. Robinson also sued Lewis for damages for personal injuries. Robinson obtained summary judgment and an assessment of damages as against Lewis. Storshin thereafter applied for summary judgment dismissing the plaintiff's action against him pursuant to Rule 7.3 of the Alberta Rules of Court.
The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench allowed Storshin's application for summary judgment and dismissed the plaintiff's action.
