I of the defendant stores: Each said they would be prepared to abide by trie dty early-closing bylaw it the court ruled it was valid. The sixth witness, Avram Bennett who handles the plan nlng and development of shop ping centres for Principal In- -vestments, said that the Bill, lngs Bridge Plaza was a com-. unity enterprise. They all shared the same building, same parking faculties, and access roads. Some Joint advertising was also shared.

Mr. Bennett said that tha only way the validity of the bylaw could be tested was by breaking It. The city's case rests solely on the application of Its early-dosing bylaw, whether It la valid, and If so, whether it applies to the Billings Bridge stores. Principal Investments have two main arguments: (1) that the bylaw does not apply to aa area annexed la 1950; (3) that the bylaw makes no provision tor shopping centre, which are neither individual stores nor a department store, but something entirely new to this era.
