As an invitee to the dinner, the invitee Bcannot be held liable for the expenses incurred by his friend in arranging for the dinner. If B agreed earlier to contribute for the dinner and he did not turn up, he can be asked to compensate A for the expenses incurred by A in arranging for the dinner to the extent to which B had agreed to contribute for arranging the same.
