Dudas v. Glenwood Golf Club, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the owner of a golf course did not have knowledge of an imminent threat to its invitees, even though two armed robberies and one attempted robbery had occurred on the premises during the previous months
• holding that two robberies within the month preceding the attack on plaintiff was not a “level of criminal activity” that would “have led a reasonable business owner to conclude that its invitees were in imminent danger of criminal assault”
• finding that evidence showing that two armed robberies and one attempted robbery of business invitees had occurred on the subject premises prior to the plaintiff being robbed was insufficient to justify imposing a duty to warn on the invitor
• finding no duty where prior crimes on the premises were of the same nature as those inflicted on plaintiff but occurred over a year ago
• declining to find inherent in special relationship an absolute duty to protect
• applying same principle when case decided on motion for summary judgment
