sounds more like a greedy publican.
Wow, it's a bit crowded up on the high moral ground, are we to asume that all these people would get up and walk out of a pub half way through a drink when the clock goes past closing and drinking up time? To say the guy deserves it for serving up a few drinks after closing is not cool in my book.
+1. To say that someone deserves a physical attack just because they were also breaking the law by serving after hours is not a very nice thing to say! Would you say that a prostitute who got raped and beaten also deserved it because she was 'working' at the time? I wouldn't have thought so, at least i hope no one would think so. Two wrongs do not make a right. The op was looking for legal advice if my understanding is correct, not the morals and ethics behind it.
Imho, the local who attacked her brother should be reported regardless of the circumstances, he shouldn't be allowed to get away with such brutish behaviour.
i don't drink much in pubs (much prefer the odd glass of wine with food to pints at the bar). But i don't get very upset by breaches of the licensing law. Yes, it's against the law, and the publican and the "found-ons" can take their chances on being caught and charged -- it's the rules of the game. But as long as the punters don't drive home over the limit, i think it's no big deal, and my moral sense is not going to be outraged.
Assault, however, is a much bigger deal in my book.
Interesting to note that the publican served the alcohol that caused the inebriation that caused the violence.just a local got a bit to drunk and took it out on the bar owner
Didn't know AAM was popular in Liverpool!What happens if a bar stays open AFTER closing time and the owner is attacked bY one of the drinkers.
Your brother could take a civil action against the perpetrator but usually it is better if criminal charges are brought first ( successfully), then the civil claim is pretty much open and shut. Assuming the individual is a mark.
I have sympathy for publicans as regards after hours- as illegality goes its a pretty tame charge. That is if one accepts that each individual is responsible for their own actions and we do not blame the publican for TPs getting drunk to the point of being violent or incapable etc. Publicans are under pressure to have afterhours from regulars who will defect otherwise.
I think it's illegal to serve alcohol to someone who is drunk - whatever the definition of "drunk" is.
