Justice Nigel Kent ruled that Rockwell is only 75 per cent at fault for the crash, while Cambie Malone's — the company that owns and operates the pub — is 25 per cent liable. He left the pub after a few hours to drive his co-worker, Kevin Sahanovitch, back to his home in Port Moody. Guiseppe Battista, Widdowson's lawyer, said the company believed it wasn't at fault for the accident because Rockwell had stopped at home between leaving the pub and causing the crash. In 2005, two bars in Whistler were each deemed to be 15 per cent at fault for a drunk-driving crash that left one passenger paralyzed. CBC News has reached out to lawyers for Cambie Malone's to determine if the company plans to appeal the ruling.
