The owners of Pro's Sports Bar & Grill received a Class A liquor license from the City of Country Club Hills, a suburb of Chicago. It allowed Pro's to stay open until 2 A.M., Monday through Friday, and 3 A.M. on Saturday and Sunday. The next year, when the owners applied to renew the license, as was required, the city council decided, without a hearing or vote, to change the liquor license to require Pro's to close at 11:30 P.M. on weekdays and at 12:30 A.M. on the weekend. The owners protested that it would have a terrible impact on business and sued the City. The district court issued a temporary injunction against City enforcement of the new license, holding that there had likely been a violation of due process. The City appealed.

1. The court held that people were deprived of a property interest without due process of law. What property interest was in question?
2. Will this prevent the city from changing the liquor license terms in the future?
