SCOVT affirms dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction of a superior court complaint challenging PUC denial of request to submit interrogatories to commissioners concerning their deliberations, holding 3 V.S.A. § 809b allows review when an agency compels discovery – not when the agency denies discovery.

The Common Law is a living stream


"The common law is an active,
not a static,
flow of ideas and principles,
a living stream, constrained by policy and precedent within this branch,
and by the supervening guides of constitution and statute."

Frederic W. Allen (Chief Justice 1984-1997)
