ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
01-2-4755 Constandi v. New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, App. Div. (per curia) (9 pp.) Plaintiff appeals from the order suspending his driver’s license issued by defendant-commission. The panel reverses and remands, finding that it was arbitrary to dismiss plaintiff’s three written requests for a hearing, it was arbitrary and violated the applicable law to initially impose suspensions far in excess of the maximum time allowed by law and it was arbitrary to not provide plaintiff with a complete copy of his record, or advise him of how he could obtain it. Plaintiff has a right to a hearing before any suspension in excess of 30 days is imposed. At that hearing, the administrative law judge can consider the time frames involved, the number of violations and points, the claimed hardship, the nature of the violations, and all relevant facts as allowed by the statute to the issue of the appropriateness of a suspension in excess of thirty days.
