Tennessee American Water Company v. The Tennessee Regulatory Authority, et al.

The Tennessee American Water Company petitioned the Tennessee Regulatory Authority to approve a revision to the existing rates it charges its customers for water. The Authority authorized a revision in the existing tariffs but made several rulings adverse to the plaintiff. Plaintiff has appealed numerous issues. On appeal, we affirm the rulings of the Authority, except its ruling  which only allowed plaintiff to recover one-half of the rate case expenses. We hold that ruling was arbitrary and we require the Authority to pay the full amount of the rate case expenses claim.
