The plaintiffs, parents of underage children, sued the Advanced Brands and Impor

Question

The plaintiffs, parents of underage children, sued the Advanced Brands and Importing Co., an importer of alcoholic beverages, seeking an injunction prohibiting advertisers from advertising its beers and damages in the form of compensation for the money spent by their children on illegal purchases of beer. The parents argued that the advertising campaign of the defendant causes underage children, like theirs, to illegally purchase the defendant's beer. The trial court dismissed the claim, in part, based on lack of standing, and the parents appealed. Do you think the appellate court found that they had standing? Why or why not?

Explanation / Answer

The Appellate court found that the parents of the children had no standing because they cannot claim any viable remedy both from the manufacturers or importers of the alcoholic beverages. They can claim remedy only from the retailers for illegal sale of the said beverages.
