Otherwise, the $2,000 granted them a license to use the premises which was freely revocable by the licensor, who again, as above is only on the hook for damages.

And there can't be punitive or exemplary damages here because those sorts of damages are not available in contract suits.
You are a contract lawyer, correct? So is that all they can do?

The other is report to BBB or broadcast the foul behavior experienced by the children. And do not let a viral video jump up.

But that is a big mistake in this country club's corporate branding efforts, conflict resolutions and other pending issues.

What we read/saw in the news is minuscule to the internal problems this business really has--stuff we will never see. But, I'd say if his business doesn't go under with a year, I'd be shocked... You just cannot stay in business without a major overhaul and restructuring with an incident like that looming overhead.
