Overview

• The Civil and Commercial Court No. 4 in Mar del Plata ruled that Purasal S.R.L. and the club’s insurer must compensate a patron injured inside Quba Café de Mar in March 2017.
• The award totals ARS 60,563,897, itemized as ARS 1,200,000 for emergent damages, ARS 50,363,897 for physical integrity, and ARS 9,000,000 for moral harm.
• Judge Martín Zambecchi applied consumer-protection liability, finding a consumer relationship even though the victim had not paid an entry fee.
• The ruling criticized the venue for failing to preserve video records, noting that the absence of footage hindered reconstruction of the incident.
• The defense argued a third party caused the assault and the insurer questioned coverage under the policy, positions rejected in the decision.
