Municipal Electric Ass'n of Massachusetts v. Securities & Exchange Commission
Municipal Electric Ass'n of Massachusetts v. Securities & Exchange Commission
Opinion of the Court
Petitioners Municipal Electric Association of Massachusetts, and others, now referred to as Municipals are the same parties who sought review in this court of orders of the Securities and Exchange Commission, approving the issuance by the Yankees
Municipals’ present petitions challenge the Commission’s orders permitting, under Section 6(b) of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
Any antitrust considerations included in the public, investor and consumer interest referred to in Sections 6 and 7 of the Act, we think in all the circumstances of the present petitions might well be resolved under the terms of our remand of March 26, 1969, in Municipal Elec. Ass’n of Mass. v. Securities and Exchange Comm’n, supra. In so concluding we observe that we do not have before us the question whether the action of the Commission, of which we have been advised, in reinstating its approval of the stock acquisitions, subject to conditions to be determined, fully satisfies our March 26 decision and remand.
We accordingly deny the present petitions without prejudice to such right of review as might be appropriate with respect to further orders of the Commission in these matters.
It is so ordered.
