. Donna, who was not a guest of the Open Arms Hotel, decided to have lunch in the hotel's dining room. Following the main course, which featured a very generous portion, Donna lacked the appetite for the dessert. The hotel supplied her with a doggie bag. Back at work, Donna gave the dessert to a co-worker, Hugh. When he bit into the sweetmeat, he cut his lip on a shard of glass. Hugh sued the hotel, which defended on the basis that there was no connection between the hotel and Hugh. The hotel further claimed that the dessert had been delivered intact from a supplier.

Discuss the arguments the hotel used to defend itself and the probable outcome of the suit.
