Case Name/Case # Chevy Chase Cars,
Inc. v. Public Commission of
Maryland 474-00011
Appellant C ounsel/ Area of Law
James J. Doyle, III, Esq. (410) 267-5900
Constitutional Law
Judge/ Jurisdiction
Stuart R. Berger Baltimore City
Issues
The Public Service Commission promulgated a regulation permitting the commission to decide whether there has been an overcharge or undercharge for regulated services and to make a monetary award accordingly. The issue is whether this regulation violates Article 23 of the Maryland Declara- tion of Rights by denying a consumer’s right to trial by jury. In this case, the Public Service Commission awarded the power company more than $100,000 against the appellant, determining issues of disputed fact without a jury.
Thanks
MTLA thanks members who gave over-and-above their annual dues either by becoming a sustaining member or by making a special legislative contribution. These options appear on the annual dues invoice and on membership applications. Sustaining members pay twice their annual dues to help subsidize reduced rates for young lawyers and law students. Legislative contributors help MTLA pay for expenses associated with political activities that are not direct campaign contributions to candidates.
