Edward Davenport

Our article "London's 'Mr Party' defies court to carry on carousing" of 19 December 2010 stated that Mr Edward Davenport has hired out his house on at least one occasion since an injunction forbidding such use of the premises was enforced in July.

We accept that it is untrue that Mr Edward Davenport has hired out his house for commercial purposes since the ban. We also accept that the noise abatement notice against Mr Davenport was dismissed and that he was awarded costs of approximately £28,000. Finally we are happy to clarify that a 9 month prison sentence imposed on Mr Davenport for VAT evasion was suspended following appeal after he had served only 16 days.

We would like to apologise to Mr Davenport for any distress or inconvenience caused.
