How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reversing dismissal of licensee’s appeal where PennDOT unreasonably delayed eight months after conviction to send notice of suspension and meanwhile licensee took a job as a truck driver in reasonable reliance on his belief his operating privileges would not be further impaired
• probability that the licensee would be unable to retain his employment, coupled with a presumption that unemployment compensation benefits would not be available to him, demonstrated sufficient prejudice
• the licensee believed, based on the delay, that no license suspension would occur and relied upon that belief to his detriment by obtaining employment that required a license where previously the licensee had been unemployed
