The letter was written after the publication of directions in the Government Gazette regarding the reopening of restaurants - permitted from Monday.
“Our client has already received confirmation from many of its members that their restaurants will not be opening, as without the sale of alcohol it will not be feasible to do so,” said Ashton Naidoo of Mooney Ford, the lawyers representing the association. The association said it needed reasons from Patel for not allowing the sale and consumption of alcohol at restaurants as the decision “adversely” affected the constitutional rights of its members.
