JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Service of notice of appeal.
- In an appeal of the Georgia Public Service Commission's decision imposing a fine for severing a telephone cable, the trial court did not err when the court denied the Commission's motion to dismiss the appeal because notice of the motion was not personally served on the Commission as the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-13-1 et seq., did not specify how service of the notice was to be perfected on the Commission, and there was no express statutory requirement for personal service. Douglas Asphalt Co. v. Ga. PSC, 263 Ga. App. 711, 589 S.E.2d 292 (2003).
