At a recent hockey game of the University of Calgary Dinosaurs,the Dinosaurs' star player,Happy Gilmore,scored in overtime to win an important playoff game.After scoring the goal,as is the new custom,Happy skated towards the protective glass and slammed into it.Unfortunately,it broke and several fans were injured by the broken glass.You have been retained by the fans to provide them with legal advice as to their rights.You have been asked whether they should sue Happy,the university,or both.Which of the following is the best advice?
A) Sue Happy as he is solely liable;it was his deliberate act that caused the glass to shatter.
B) Sue the University as they are solely liable because Happy is a student and students cannot be held liable for normal acts in a hockey game.
C) Sue both;they are both liable because Happy's action constitutes negligence and the fact the glass broke constitutes negligence on the part of the university for improper installation or maintenance.
D) Sue neither,since they aren't liable;the manufacturer of the glass is solely liable.
E) Happy,the university,and the glass manufacturer are all possibly liable,so you should sue all 3.
