Judicial Review of Agency Interpretation of Public Service Obligation Statute
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe plaintiff brought suit seeking judicial review of a decision by an administrative agency concerning the interpretation and application of a regulation regarding public service obligations, specifically alleging the agency erred in its interpretation of statutory language governing the scope of such obligations and the calculation of associated costs. The court reasoned that the agency's interpretation, while deferentially considered under the applicable standard, was plainly contrary to the clear and unambiguous meaning of the statutory text and was therefore unreasonable, resulting in the reversal of the agency's determination and a remand for further proceedings consistent with the court's reading of the statute.
