Since I think of business rules as generally applying to attributes and relationships between attributs, and since we don't reference attributes within use cases, I would not recommend stating business rules in use cases.
I also think of business rules as being flexible, much more so than I want my use cases to be. So my expectation would be to see business rules described by a business object model. I think that they attach quite nicely to the attributes and relationships in the class diagram. Much better place than use cases, IMO.
