"Counties Buck Precedent With Energy Lawsuits"
This morning's Daily Journal reports here that San Francisco and Santa Clara Counties both filed suit against certain natural gas companies last week. The article reports that, despite the Ninth Circuit's very recent California v. Dynegy decision, San Francisco's suit is based (in part) on the UCL. According to one of the attorneys who filed the suit, it does not "involve tariffs that are governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission."
UPDATE: The Recorder also has an article on the suits.
