Eight people appeared at court today accused of taking part in a pub brawl less than two hours before the death of Benji Bolsenbroek.
One of the men who appeared in the dock at Teesside Crown Court is Mr Bolsenbroek's brother.
Mr Bolsenbroek, 23, died one-and-a-half hours after the alleged violence, the court was told.
Seven men and one woman appeared for a short preliminary hearing today.
They are all charged with violent disorder.
None has yet entered a plea.
The charge relates to an alleged disturbance at the Park Hotel in Linthorpe Village, Middlesbrough on Sunday, October 6 last year.
Prosecutor Rachel Masters said today: "In total there are 16 defendants charged, being dealt with in two separate groups.
"This is the first group of eight. The second group is due to appear before the court tomorrow."
Before the court today were Mr Bolsonbroek's brother Cain George Conroy, 36, of Slaley Close, New Marske; Christopher Bennett, 23, of Chadderton Drive,Thornaby; Mark Anthony Dobbing, 27, of Lansdowne Road, Thornaby; Jenny Futo, 24, of York Road, Middlesbrough; Justin Charles Heward, 23, of Harrow Road, Linthorpe, Middlesbrough; Benjamin John Jones, 23, of Hesleden Avenue, Middlesbrough; Blaine Patrick McCarthy, 21, of Blackhall Sands, Middlesbrough; and Andrew Sloan, 23, of Coral Grove, Stockton.
All eight face the same charge of using or threatening unlawful violence with others causing a person to fear for their personal safety.
They spoke only to confirm their names to the court clerk.
Judge Peter Armstrong bailed all eight until a plea and case management hearing at Teesside Crown Court on May 12.
