Marcel Kovarsky, Respondent v. Brooklyn Union Gas Company, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court, holding that the plaintiff may seek an injunction and declaratory judgment in a representative action against the gas company's $1 reconnection charge, that the charge is a prohibited "service charge" under §65(6), and that no accounting may be obtained in such an action; the Commission proceeding under §71 is not exclusive.
