Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Advocate and Protection Division v. Tennessee Regulatory Authority

On November 29, 2005, this court issued an opinion finding that the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (Authority) failed to follow the requirements of then-existing law when it declined to convene a contested case proceeding with regard to BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc.’s “Welcoming Reward Program” tariff. Both the Authority and BellSouth have filed timely petitions for rehearing in accordance with Tenn. R. App. P. 39 with regard to portions of that opinion.
