Maine Supreme Court struck down a 9.1 million temporary rate hike granted to New England Telephone by the PUC saying the nine month limit from filing to action was exceeded. The decision leaves the 9.5 million temporary hike in limbo and clears the path for new rate hearings. The court also voided two PUC orders on refunds, and required NET to file new data as the case restarts.
