Supreme Court of South Carolina

SC Coastal Conservation League v. Dominion Energy

September 9, 2020

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court dismissed the appeal because two of the appellants lacked standing to challenge the Public Service Commission’s rate order, and the remaining appellant’s claim was moot after the rates were superseded. The Court affirmed that only parties aggrieved under Rule 201(b) and the state code may appeal, and that an appeal concerning expired rates has no practical effect.
