Mile High Cab, Inc. v. Colo. Pub. Utils. Comm’n
Annotate this CaseMile High Cab, Inc. appealed directly to the Supreme Court to challenge a district court denial of its application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. After a "lengthy" hearing, the administrative law judge (ALJ) to whom the application had been assigned found that several incumbent carriers opposing the application had adequately proved that granting the application would be detrimental to the public interest. The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) ultimately adopted the ALJ's recommendation. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded that the record did not clearly contain the finding statutorily required for a denial of Mile High's application by the PUC. As such, the Court reversed the district court, and remanded the case back to the PUC for further consideration.
