People v. Stoffle

(Court opinion corrected 6/3/20.) Defendant petitioned to rescind the statutory summary suspension (SSS) of her driving privileges. Court granted petition, based on State's failure to disclose to Defendant the names of relevant and discoverable witnesses (paramedics involved in treatment of Defendant) until day of hearing, which effectively preventing Defendant from calling those witnesses resulted in failure to provide Defendant with a timely hearing under Section 2-118.1(b) of Vehicle Code. State's filing of an objection to Defendant's discovery objections did not automatically toll the 30-day period in section 2-118.1(b) for Defendant to be given a hearing on petition to rescind. (McLAREN and HUDSON, concurring.)
