Big Beer’s Lawsuit Against South Africa’s Temporary Alcohol Sales Bans Has Been Rejected

The Supreme Court of South Africa has dismissed beer giant SABMiller’s appeal to challenge the government’s temporary alcohol sales bans.
Last year SABMiller launched a legal attack on this life saving measure implemented by the South African government. First the company challenged the temporary sales ban with the Western Cape High Court. Since the court ruled against the challenge the company went to the Supreme Court, but was dismissed there, too.
