Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellants could rely on legitimate expectations to keep the former extended opening hours.
Decisione estratta
No protected expectation existed for indefinite future renewals of the extended-hours permit; the city could change the general regime.
Motivazione estratta
The 2002 assurance covered only the initial permit framework, not a guarantee against later regulatory changes. Repeated annual renewals did not freeze the legal situation.
