Constitutional: Published Comment in Chronicle-Herald Re: Constitutionality of Liquor Fees

Well, although I always cringe when a news article identifies me as an “expert” (lawyers are to refrain from any such classifications, except under unique circumstances), I suppose that I have been contacted in the past to issue expert opinions on matters involving Constitutional Law (also, I spent a decade teaching the subject).

In the current matter, I was contacted by a reporter with Halifax’s Chronicle-Herald newspaper, to comment on the legitimacy of fees by the Province’s liquor corporation, NSLC.  My brief comment is included at the following link:  http://thechronicleherald.ca/metro/1389054-halifax-microbrewery-unfiltered-brewing-battles-nslc-in-court.
