Ban on Sunday shopping ban...for now
Sunday shoppers were in luck in mid-July when the Constitutional Court ordered a temporary stay on the enforcement of a law which essentially bans stores from being open on Sundays. Mercator, Kompas MTS, Era and Petrol have all filed petitions claiming that enforcement of the law would cause them significant losses of profits which would lead to wide-spread layoffs. The law was set to enter into force on 15 September.
