Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co. v. Public Service Commission

2 sentences1990We reject this argument, as we can imagine contexts in which it would be entirely inappropriate for the PSC to refuse to consider a future event when adjusting rates. 2 Moreover, in Southern Bell v. The Public Service Commission, 270 S.C. 590 , 244 S.E. (2d) 278 (1978), we approved the historical test year as a basis for calculating a utility’s rate base, as long as adjustments were made for any known and measurable out-of-period changes in expenses, revenues and investments which would materially alter the rate base. 1990We reject this argument, as we can imagine contexts in which it would be entirely inappropriate for the PSC to refuse to consider a future event when adjusting rates. 2 Moreover, in Southern Bell v.

Irving Houston Hawkins v. Franklin Freeman
green
1 sentence2013In articulating the precise right that section 23-3-540(0 infringes, Dykes frames it as the right “to be let alone.” However, in determining whether the right at stake is fundamental, we must first make “a ‘careful description’ of the asserted liberty right or interest [to] avoid[ ] overgeneralization in the historical inquiry.” Hawkins, 195 F.3d at 747 . | 1 | 2013–2013 |
