27
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Denali Caribou
28
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Procedural Posture: US Court of Appeals for 7 th Cir (Wisc, Ill, Ind.) Federal Court b/c Diversity Jurisdiction (P80) – Ps = Pennsylvania Citizens – D = Illinois Corporation Under Erie, Federal Court applies state law: – Job is to determine what Illinois would do – Court clearly not very sympathetic to D, but not operating on clean slate
29
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 DQ23. If their right to exclude is limited, what are the possible harms to the landowners in Brooks?
30
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Possible Harms to O in Brooks Include: Expertise + Access to Funds Loss of $$? Prof. Gamblers = Org. Crime How Significant Are These?
31
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 How Significant Are Possible Harms to O: Prof. Gamblers = Org. Crime (reputation might discourage other gamblers) Expertise + Access to Funds Loss of $$? – Is this big concern? – Fact on p. 80: Ds lost 110 out of 140 betting days: Why does court include fact? Argument that this fact is not very significant?
32
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 How Significant Are Possible Harms to O: Prof. Gamblers = Org. Crime Expertise + Access to Funds Loss of $$? Less Restrictive Alternatives to Excluding Ds: Cap Amount One Person Can Bet? Pros & Cons? (Note: Part of Problem is Some Pros are Cons!!!)
33
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Less Restrictive Alternatives to Excluding Ds: Cap Amount One Person Can Bet? Easy to get around by hiring multiple bettors – Though also true if specific people excluded Tracks may not like. Good for business to have big losses and [occasional] big wins Note this is probably not kind of solution court can do; would need legislation or negotiation
34
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 DQ23: Significant Public Interest in Allowing Access in Cases Like This?
35
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Public Interest in Allowing Access: – Probably not much in ensuring professionals can bet large amounts in person at track – BUT Concern with mistaken exclusion E.g., Federal No-Fly Lists E.g., NY case cited in Brooks: Coley Madden mistaken for Owney Madden
36
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Comparisons with Other Kinds of Businesses – Casinos (Uston) – Innkeepers/Common Carriers
37
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Comparisons with Other Kinds of Businesses Court in Brooks Asked to Apply Uston – Court Refuses NJ Case; Not Followed in Illinois NJ Doesn’t Extend to Racetracks Anyway – Could Distinguish on Facts Card Counting = Skill Accessible to All (v. Inside Info) Casinos Covered by Special Statutes/Licensing
38
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Comparisons with Other Kinds of Businesses Could Apply Innkeeper Rules DQ24: If you were going to apply Innkeeper Rules to some but not all businesses, should you apply them to racetracks & stadiums? Pros & Cons?
39
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Comparisons with Other Kinds of Businesses Pros & Cons of Innkeeper Rules for Stadiums & Racetracks Include: – Large open invitation means should lose discretion? – Monopoly theory? Heavy state regulation & relatively few racetracks – BUT arguably not crucial like inns & common carriers No extortion likely Less public interest in ensuring universal access
40
Right to Exclude: Property Open to the Public DENALI: Brooks & DQ23-24 Closing Points on Brooks Other jurisdictions listed follow Brooks (even NJ) Only Exception: California Public Accommodation statute interpreted to mean “no arbitrary discrimination” – Orloff (1951) can’t exclude people w reputations for immoral character from racetrack = prior off-track gambling conviction reputation as gambler/bookmaker Qs on Brooks?

GLACIER: JMB & DQ25: Owners’ Interests Possible harms to the owners in JMB: 1.Forced Speech
44
GLACIER: JMB & DQ25: Owners’ Interests Possible harms to the owners in JMB: 1.Forced Speech Claim: Shoppers will assume leafletters speak for management, so Os effectively forced to say things they disagree with – Seems unlikely that shoppers would view that way – Court rejects claim in portion of opinion not in book
45
GLACIER: JMB & DQ25: Owners’ Interests Possible harms to the owners in JMB: 1.Forced Speech 2.Psychic Harm: – Feelings of Lack of Control Over Property – Made Worse by Speech if Os Disagree – NOTE: Genuine, but hard to Quantify
