Please note for people who are employed in this profession, I respect you (well, most of you) and am grateful for the job you do - this question is not to test or annoy you! I've never been in trouble with a bouncer and have been grateful to see them take swift action many times.
The thought just randomly entered my head today that I am wondering can a bouncer legitimately use force to eject somebody from premises or to 'end a situation' by use of force, in other words basically giving somebody a thump.
With most things you are given warnings, such as in a cinema there are warnings posted that state use of recording equipment is prohibited and offenders will be ejected or/and police called. I've never seen a notice in pubs/clubs saying that trouble may be dealt with by force.
It's obvious to most people, but I wonder if someone from a country without pubs/clubs went into one and was set upon by bouncers (rightly or wrongly) could they potentially sue for assault?
