Notes of Decisions Emergency Relief
Homeowners association had no clear right to emergency relief as each condominium unit is a separate electric-consuming facility and not a part of the association. Glade Park East Home Owners Association v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 628 A.2d 468 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993).
Practice and Procedure
Since the rules and regulations governing practice and procedure before the PUC do not contain provisions regarding the timeliness of filings and the date of issuance of orders for agency purposes, sections 31.11 and 31.13 of the General Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure, 1 Pa. Code § § 31.11, 31.13, are controlling for these purposes. Carol Lines, Inc. v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 481 A.2d 990 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1984).
