Scope of Proceeding

Based on the pleadings to date and the representations of the parties at the PHC, the dispute is whether SDG&E has provided line extension service consistent with its tariffs, the representations of its employees, and the requests of the Do's. There are many facts in dispute concerning the exact service ordered, who said what to whom, and the time of specific communications. These facts in dispute bear upon the ultimate question of whether SDG&E acted consistent with its tariffs.

Parties should limit their testimony at the evidentiary hearings to matters involving disputed issues of fact. Testimony that presents legal or policy argument may be stricken. Parties will have an opportunity to address matters of law and policy in briefs.
