In Department of Transportation, Bureau of Traffic Safety v. Kobaly, 477 Pa. 525, 529, 384 A.2d 1213, 1215 (1978), an individual's inspection license was suspended for one year because he was found to have issued inspection stickers without making an inspection; issued an inspection sticker without doing a complete inspection; and engaged in fraudulent recordkeeping. Kobaly appealed the suspension, and the trial court made findings of fact different from those of the Department. The trial court reduced the suspension to six months. Kobaly then appealed to this Court, which held that the trial court lacked authority to reduce the Department's suspension. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed. It held that after a de novo trial where different findings of fact and conclusions of law are made, the trial court may modify the penalty originally imposed by the Department. Kobaly, 477 Pa. at 528-29, 384 A.2d at 1215.
