E2 Nightclub Tragedy
CTL Reference Sheet · Version 1.0 · Published 2026-09-30
The E2 Nightclub Tragedy dossier (CTL-RD-EVENT-000001) is CTL's comprehensive evidence file on the event: 34 sections, 42 claims reconciled 1:1 with CTL-EF-EVENT-000001, and 30 relationship edges. It establishes February 17, 2003 as the date (refuting a February 21 lead), resolves the 12-year legal arc precisely, and notes that the 2008 promoters ordinance was proposed but never adopted — with final civil-litigation outcomes still open.
