Hamilton Southeastern Utilities, Inc., Appellant (petitioner Below) v. Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, Et…

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission was a proper party to an appeal challenging its rate order because longstanding practice, the Commission's interest in defending its orders, and public policy support its participation. The Court reversed the dismissal of the Commission and remanded for the Court of Appeals to allow the Commission to brief the exclusion of certain affiliate-related expenses, while summarily affirming the remaining portions of the appellate decision. No separate opinions were filed.
