Supreme Court of Connecticut

Adam Stash v. Commissioner of Motor Vehicles; James R. Marsh III v. Commissioner of Motor Vehicles

June 29, 2010297 Conn. 204

Summary

The court affirmed the judgments upholding ninety-day license suspensions imposed after Intoxilyzer tests showed that Stash and Marsh had elevated blood alcohol contents. It concluded that the administrative record contained substantial evidence supporting the agency's findings and rejected the plaintiffs' arguments that a separate mathematical conversion or proof eliminating every possible measurement error was required. The court also determined that Marsh's appeal was not moot because collateral consequences could result from the suspension.
