The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected the Energy Regulator's decision to set contract terms for past energy deliveries. The parties argued over whether the regulator could retroactively establish billing conditions for energy already supplied under a previous agreement. The court held that the regulator's authority is constitutive and limited to future terms, not retroactive dispute resolution regarding past performance.
