All, The need for business rules must be captured in the use cases. Use cases are the requirements documents. The implementation of the business rules will flow throughout the rest of the analysis, design, implementation and testing.
Business rules may be driven by object state transition, the inter-relationship between objects etc. This means no single artefact, other than use cases, can capture the need for these rules. This is all "in my opinion". I look forward to some different views...

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.
