ATA/307/1996Cour de justice / Verwaltungskammer29.05.1996Dismissed
Von Omnilex extrahiert
The court held that Art. 9(2) LHFM is a rule on the closing time of shops and not, in substance, a worker-protection provision. It therefore falls within the reservation of Art. 71(c) LTr and does not conflict with federal law. The court also held that allowing family businesses to close later than large stores does not breach equality of treatment or freedom of commerce and industry, because the legislature primarily pursued a social policy aimed at consumer protection and neighborhood life, which remains admissible despite a limited economic-policy effect.
Art. 9 al. 2 LHFM; nature of the provision and conformity with federal law; equality and freedom of trade and industry. A statutory rule imposing shop closing hours is to be qualified according to its predominant object; if it primarily regulates opening and closing times, it is not transformed into a labour-protection norm merely because it incidentally affects workers. Such a rule falls within the reservation of Art. 71(c) LTr and does not derogate from federal law. Moreover, differentiated closing hours between family enterprises and larger stores do not violate equality of treatment where the legislature pursues a predominantly social objective, such as consumer protection and neighbourhood vitality; a merely incidental economic-policy effect does not render the distinction unconstitutional.

LHFM.9 al.2
Résumé
L'art.9 al.2 LHFM est une norme imposant une heure de fermeture des magasins avant d'être une norme de protection des travailleurs. Dans cette mesure, elle entre dans la réserve de l'art.71 litt.c LTr, et ne déroge donc pas au droit fédéral. En permettant aux entreprises familiales de fermer à une heure plus tardive que les grandes surfaces, le législateur à voulu promouvoir avant tout une politique sociale (protection des consommateurs, animation de quartier) qui est admissible même si elle a un léger effet de politique économique. Le principe d'égalité de traitement, eu regard de la libert du commerce et de l'industrie n'est donc pas violé.

Whether Art. 9(2) LHFM is a rule on shop closing hours or a worker-protection rule under federal law
Art. 9(2) LHFM is primarily a rule fixing shop closing hours, not a worker-protection norm.
Because its object is the closing time of shops, it falls within the reservation of Art. 71(c) LTr and therefore does not derogate from federal law.
Whether the different closing hours for family businesses and large stores violate equality of treatment and economic freedom
The distinction is permissible and does not violate equality of treatment or freedom of commerce and industry.
The legislature pursued mainly a social policy aim, notably consumer protection and neighborhood vitality; this remains admissible even if it has a slight economic policy effect.
