Debate continues over Easter trading laws

The rules governing which retailers can and cannot open vary from district to district, and are also different on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Oderings has flouted the laws for a number of years and most years each of its stores are fined the maximum $1000 for doing so but director Julian Odering is unapologetic for the chain’s stance. “Our customers want us to open.” JOHN KIRK-ANDERSON/Stuff Christchurch’s Riverside Market obeyed the Easter trading laws but some of its businesses were not able to open. He said garden centres were allowed to trade over Easter Weekend before law changes were made without consultation in the 1990s. Garden centres can now legally open on Easter Sunday but Good Friday is still a no-go area.
