OUI License Massachusetts Blood Alcohol Hardship Hearing Lawyers New Hampshire County

OUI License Massachusetts Blood Alcohol Hardship Hearing Lawyers

Plaintiff appealed the decision of the Board of Appeal on Motor Vehicle Liability Policies and Bonds (Massachusetts) affirming the registrar’s suspension of plaintiff’s Massachusetts driver’s license.

Issue:
  • Whether the Massachusetts law entitled the Plaintiff to a hardship hearing?
Discussion:

This court finds that the Plaintiff contentions (1) his license was improperly revoked without a hearing by the registrar (2) because the transcript of the hearing was not included in the administrative record, there was insufficient evidence in the record to support the decision and (3) that Massachusetts law entitled him to a hardship hearing. In response, the Board maintained that both substantial evidence and applicable law supported its decision. The court stated the board’s interpretation of Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 22(c), authorizing the registrar to suspend plaintiff’s license for a period equal to that allowed under New Hampshire law was reasonable. The court affirmed the decision of the board stating that plaintiff could not successfully argue that the lawful absence of a pre-termination hearing before the registrar entitled him to judgment on appeal.
