Objectors appealed determination of the Public Utilities Commission modifying order exempting natural-gas utility from traditional commodity-sales service regulations.
The Supreme Court of Ohio held that:
- Commission did not ignore or rewrite prior exemption order;
- Utility’s filing of motion to modify rather than separate application did not require reversal;
- Record supported Commission’s determination that findings from exemption order were no longer valid;
- Commission’s decision to modify exemption order was not against manifest weight of the evidence;
- Deference to Commission’s findings was warranted; and
- Commission properly adopted stipulation.
