Case Notes
Constitutionality.
Former provision of this section authorizing the circuit court in a trial de novo to redetermine or disregard the factual base upon which the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board relied to issue a liquor license was unconstitutional because such a trial sanctioned judicial encroachment into an area constitutionally reserved to the executive branch of government in the exercise of its executive discretion pursuant to §§ 3-4-201, 3-4-202, and 3-4-208. Goodall v. Williams, 271 Ark. 354, 609 S.W.2d 25 (1980) (decision prior to 1981 amendment).
