Licenses, Reputation & Property Rights
Privileges, licenses, certificates, and franchises ... qualify as property interests for purposes of procedural due process. This is because, once issued, a license or permit “may become essential in the pursuit of a livelihood.” Because permits and licenses relate to the maintenance of a person's livelihood, [s]uspension of issued licenses ... involves state action that adjudicates important interests of the licensees." Therefore, once issued, a license or permit cannot be taken away by the State without due process. North Atl. Sec. Co. v. Blache, 2020 WL 6588946 (M.D. La. Nov. 10, 2020).
