NJ BPU Challenges Injunction in Altice Pro-Rating Litigation

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities asked U.S. District Court in Trenton to reconsider turning an Altice motion to reconsider into a motion for a preliminary injunction. In a motion (in Pacer, docket 19-cv-21371) Wednesday, the BPU said the conversion was procedurally deficient and it wasn't allowed to brief on the merits of a preliminary injunction. The court last month issued an injunction to last until the end of Altice's litigation against the state for seeking to force the cable company to use prorated billing (see 2001290055). The cabler didn't comment Thursday.
