Obviously the landlord has some responsibility, but that doesn't stretch any further than making sure there's no obvious crimes being committed on their premises. Their responsibilities are purely reactive.

Also that's one of the most abused pieces of legislation going. I've seen countless officers shut down pubs for next to no reason (a fight starting outside completely unrelated to the pub for instance) citing their powers under the licensing act when the licensing act requires it to come from an Inspector or above. I've even challenged it happening citing the exact part of the act saying they didn't have the authority to and got told to go away or be arrested.

So do I trust the police to only shut down pubs when there is an actual real and immediate threat to the public, and not just because the pub has ignored it's guidance? No chance.
If a landlord allows unlawful practices to be carried out on the licensed premises, he is partly culpable. If he does not ensure the conduct and order of his customers, he is also liable.

A landlords only duty is not to serve a clearly drunk person, not put up dress codes dictated to by the police.
No, I think you will find that it is also their duty to make sure their patrons do not cause a nuisance on, or near, their premises.
