LeClair v. Sorel

Tufte, Justice.

*308 [¶1] The North Dakota Department of Transportation appeals from a district court judgment reversing the Department's decision to suspend Dustin Alan LeClair's driving privileges. The Department argues the district court erred in reversing its decision to suspend LeClair's license because the officer's recitation of the implied consent advisory, which excluded the word "punishable," substantially complied with N.D.C.C. § 39-20-01(3)(a). We reverse the district court's judgment and reinstate the Department's decision to suspend LeClair's driving privileges.
