Albuquerque Cab Company and Yellow Checker Cab Company, Inc., Appellants v. New Mexico Public Regulation…

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court held that the Public Regulation Commission violated the Motor Carrier Act by failing to hold a required public hearing after Albuquerque Cab Co. and Yellow Checker Cab protested Green Cab’s application. The Court reversed the Commission’s order and remanded for a proper hearing. The decision rests on a plain‑meaning interpretation of the statutory hearing requirement.
