What is the current state of the law on the duty of care of a commercial host?

In the case at bar, the question is whether the proposed duty of care is analogous to a previously recognized category of cases in which a duty has been recognized. The dicta in Childs supports the view that commercial hosts owe a general duty to prevent foreseeable harm caused to third parties by their guests, and that this proposition is not tied to motorists (as in Stewart v. Pettie); rather, it covers all those who, as a class of persons, may come into contact with the guest.
