V.J.R. Bar Corporation v. Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board

In V.J.R. Bar Corporation v. Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, 480 Pa. 322, 390 A.2d 163 (1978), the Supreme Court relied upon the "any other sufficient cause shown" language to uphold the revocation of the liquor license based upon gambling by the licensee even though the criminal charges were later dismissed and gambling was not an enumerated offense in the Liquor Code. In V.J.R Bar Corporation, the Supreme Court noted that any other conclusion "would thwart the command of the Legislature that all the provisions of the Liquor Code 'shall be liberally construed' for the protection of the public welfare, health, peace and morals of the people of the Commonwealth."
