A Canning Town nightclub, Pier One, lost its license after a judge ruled that staff negligence contributed to two alleged rapes. Newham Council expressed concerns for female safety.
Cllr Amar Virdee emphasized that pubs and clubs have a duty to prevent crime and protect vulnerable customers from the violence epidemic, stressing the need for established procedures.
The High Court appeal by Sahara Promotions was defeated, reinforcing the commitment of Newham Council and the Metropolitan Police to ensure public safety in licensed venues.
The ruling indicates a firm stance against venues failing their responsibility to safeguard patrons, highlighting a broader commitment to combatting violence against women.
