Guillou v. State of New Hampshire, Division of Motor Vehicles
New Hampshire Supreme Court
503 A.2d 838, 127 N.H. 579 (1986)
- Written by Deanna Curl, JD
Facts
New Hampshire law RSA 236.56 (the statute) authorized the director of motor vehicles to suspend or revoke a driver’s license for any cause the director deemed sufficient following a hearing. The statute did not contain or reference any statutory guidance for the director’s decision and did not limit the length of time a license could be suspended or revoked. Robert Guillou (plaintiff) challenged the statute’s constitutionality under the New Hampshire Constitution’s separation-of-powers provision.
