Pub owners warned to call time on inebriation
Businesses in the North East pub trade are being warned to watch out for swingeing sanctions if they serve intoxicated people in the future.
Richard Arnot, head of licensing and gaming law and partner at Watson Burton is keen to highlight the new focus by police on pub owner prosecutions for serving drunken customers.
This follows the publication of a report on alcohol by the House of Commons Health Committee which calls for much tighter regulation and control of alcohol by pubs, off-licences and supermarkets.
