FREDERICTON — Authorities who revoked a criminal lawyer’s controversial “DUI DR” vanity plates were unreasonable, the New Brunswick Court of Appeal has ruled. The letter did not explain why, or mention the complaints received days earlier from MADD, the appeal court said. The appeal court zeroed in on how the Department of Motor Vehicles made its decision. The appeal court ordered the registrar to pay $3,000 in costs. Quigg said the motor vehicle registrar gave Maxwell no chance to respond before the plates were revoked, and acted if there was no right of appeal.
