Public Svc. Comm. v. Campaign for a Prosperous Ga

In Public Svc. Comm. v. Campaign for a Prosperous Ga., 229 Ga. App. 28, 29 (1) (492 SE2d 916) (1997), the superior court found that the Public Service Commission illegally treated the administrative case before it as an accounting matter instead of as a rate case and remanded for a full evidentiary hearing as a rate case, requiring compliance with a different legal standard. Consequently, the "Accounting Order" was reversed on its merits and, under the superior court's holding, an accounting order could not reissue. The remand order, therefore, "did more than merely remand the case to the PSC for the taking of additional evidence that would facilitate the superior court's final resolution of the case," and thus the remand order was a final judgment as to the accounting matter.
