California Court of Appeal
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. v. P.U.C., A142127
In a petition for writ of review of the PUC's imposition of civil penalties of $14,350,000, the PUC decision is affirmed where: 1) the penalties were validly imposed in the belief that Rule 1.1 does not invariably demand a scienter requirement; 2) the Commission correctly treated PG&E's act and omission as continuing violations; 3) the PUC's order to show cause provided sufficient notice of the grounds for which PG&E might be penalized; and 4) the penalties authorized by sections 2107 and 2108 are not constitutionally excessive
