HFT 2600 Hospitality Law

In this course, students explore an awareness of rights and responsibilities that the law grants to or imposes upon a hotelkeeper and food service operator, and illustrate possible consequences of failure to satisfy legal obligations. An understanding of historical legal definitions and the court system, the legal obligations of a hotel to a guest, the “duty” owed to guests by the owner, and the liabilities of the operators are examined. Specific attention is given to innkeeper-guest relationships.
