The Court of Appeals has ordered the Shangri-La hotel in Makati City to pay the family of a Norwegian business executive P52 million in damages after he was robbed and killed in his hotel room 10 years ago.
The appellate court’s Eighth Division upheld a Quezon City Regional Trial Court’s decision of Oct. 25, 2005, that found the hotel remiss and liable in the death of Christian Harper, 30.
The court also increased the amount of damages awarded to Harper’s wife and son, Ellen Johanne Harper and Jonathan Christopher Harper, from the P43,901,055 awarded by the trial court to P52,078,702.50.
“Makati Shangri-La is a five-star hotel. The reasonable care it must exercise for the safety and comfort of its guests should be commensurate with the grade and quality of the accommodation it offers,†the appellate court said, concurring with the decision of the trial court.
