Stuart Singer successfully argued two appeals for Florida Power & Light Co. in the past year, one in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the other in the Florida Supreme Court, the Daily Business Review wrote.
In Newton v. Duke Energy Florida, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit unanimously affirmed the dismissal with prejudice of a putative class action brought against Florida Power & Light Co. and Duke Energy Florida LLC.
In Sierra Club v. Julie Imanuel Brown, the Florida Supreme Court unanimously rejected the Sierra Club’s challenge to state Public Service Commission approval of FPL’s base rate case. For public utilities, rate cases are generally the most important litigation companies can face as they establish allowable rates and return on equity for a four-year period.
