Frontier Pipeline Co., et al. v. FERC, No. 04-1343 (D.C. Cir., decided May 26, 2006). We prevailed in an appeal on behalf of an oil pipeline that was ordered by the FERC to pay millions of dollars in reparations on the basis of a single component of a joint rate in which the pipeline participated. On appeal, the DC Circuit vacated the FERC’s order, affirming the historic rule that joint rates can only be evaluated as a whole. The court also upheld the FERC’s ruling that third-party purchasers are not entitled to reparations for alleged pipeline overcharges. |
