Michael is a barman working at a local hotel. Michael's boss has made it clear to him that he is expected to eject unruly patrons. One night Helen arrives with a group of friends. The girls have been out all night and are very intoxicated. Helen's friends dare her to go behind the bar and give Michael a kiss. Helen accepts the dare but is then ejected from the hotel by Michael. As she is removed she slips on an ice cube and hits her head, causing brain damage. Helen sues Michael who claims that he was simply acting as the licensee's agent.

Ignoring all other issues (e.g. the use of force and tort law) advise Michael about his claim that he was only an agent.
