Pokoy v. Commonwealth, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing

How courts have described this case

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

• indicating that only delays attributable to PennDOT can form the basis for relief
• stating that only a delay attributable to the Department that causes the licensee to believe, to his or her detriment, that his or her operating privilege will not be suspended supports invalidating a license suspension
• delay of nearly four years not attributable to the Department insufficient under Green to invalidate a license suspension
• “[O]nly an unreasonable delay by [the Department], and not the judicial system, invalidates [the Department’s] license suspension . . . . Because the four year delay is not attributable to [the Department] we need not reach the issue of whether [the licensee] suffered any prejudice.”
