Dean v. Georgia Public Service Commission
Dean v. Georgia Public Service Commission
Opinion of the Court
The exception being to a refusal by the judge to enjoin the Georgia Public-Service Commission from interfering with the petitioner’s operation as a motor common carrier over a designated highway in the State of Georgia, he having made to the Interstate-Commerce Commission the application contemplated by 49 H. S. C. A. Supp. § 306(a), and the evidence being in conflict as to whether on June 1, 1935, the petitioner was a bona fide operator as a common carrier by motor vehicle over this route, the refusal by the judge to grant a temporary injunction was not an abuse of discretion.
The foregoing represents the views of the majority of the court. The minority view is as follows: (a) When the Interstate-Commerce Commission set aside the certificate of public convenience and necessity and referred the case to a joint board that had power to recommend, such action left the application pending and made continuance of operation upon the part of Dean lawful until final action by the Interstate Commerce Commission (b) The effect of
Judgment affirmed.
