Statutes > New-york > Vat > Title-10 > Article-46 > 2127§ 2127. Hearings. A person aggrieved by an act or omission to act of the commissioner under this article is entitled to a hearing. The commissioner shall grant a hearing to an applicant therefor as soon as practicable, except that if a certificate of title is temporarily suspended, within ten days after receipt of a written request for such hearing. No hearing shall be required because of the refusal of the commissioner to issue a certificate of title in a case where the commissioner determines that a request for such hearing is frivolous or based upon sham. The applicant may be heard in person or by counsel. The hearing shall be at such time and place as the commissioner shall prescribe. The commissioner acting by such officer or person in the department of motor vehicles as he may designate, shall have the power to temporarily omit to take any action under this article pending a hearing and to subpoena and bring before the officer or person so designated any person in this state and administer an oath to and take testimony of any person or cause his deposition to be taken with the same fees and mileage in the same manner as prescribed by law in judicial procedure in courts of this state in civil cases.
