Reported
Court upholds Liquor Act licensing, hours and product restrictions (rational‑basis review); closed‑day religious concern but limitation justified.
Constitutional law — procedure — admission of new factual/expert evidence on direct appeal — scope of rules 19 and 34 — rule 34 limits to common‑cause or easily verifiable official/scientific/statistical facts. Constitutional law — socioeconomic rights — section 26 (interim Constitution) — interpretation: subsections read together; review on rational‑basis standard for measures designed to promote listed objectives. Administrative/licensing law — Liquor Act — licensing scheme, hours/days and product‑type restrictions upheld as rationally connected to legitimate public objectives. Constitutional law — religion — section 14 — state selection of Christian‑based closed days may carry sectarian symbolism, but limitation may be justified under section 33.
