§ 14. Powers of Supreme Court
The Supreme Court may reverse or affirm the judgments, orders, or decrees of the Commission
and may remand a cause to it with such mandates, as law or equity shall require; and
the Commission shall enter judgment, order, or decree in accordance with such mandates.
The transfer of the cause to the Supreme Court shall not vacate any judgment, order,
or decree of the Commission, but the Supreme Court or, when not in session, a Justice
thereof upon notice to interested parties, may suspend execution of the same as justice
and equity require, unless otherwise specifically provided by law; provided, however,
that the execution of rate orders shall not be suspended at the request of a utility
unless the utility files with the Commission a bond running to the members of the
Commission and their successors in office in an amount and with sureties approved
by the Court or a Justice thereof conditioned that within 30 days after the termination
of the proceedings the company shall repay to the persons from whom collected and
after the effective date of the Commission’s final order all sums in excess of the
rates finally determined to be just and reasonable. (Amended 1959, No. 329 (Adj. Sess.), § 39(b), eff. March 1, 1961; 1961, No. 263, § 4(c), eff. July 31, 1961.)
