NOTICE OF CONTESTED CASE
Issue Date: March 26, 2013 Effective
Date: March 26, 2013
The Missouri Public Service Commission
is issuing notice of a contested case. The applications[1] are
subject to opposition, and their allegations suggest a property right subject
to protection under the due process of law, which includes an opportunity for
hearing in a meaningful manner and time.[2] A
meaningful manner and time, for the applications, means an evidentiary hearing
before the decision.[3] The
necessity of a pre‑decision, evidentiary hearing makes this action a
“contested case.”[4]
The Commission’s
discovery regulations are at 4 CSR 240-2.090.[5] This
notice requires no written answer from any party. Notice of hearing has issued
already.[6]
