The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to review whether a plaintiff can circumvent a state agency's right to enforce a statute by seeking to do so through common-law damages claims.
The justices granted allocatur Dec. 26, 2017, in Butler County v. CenturyLink Communications, a case stemming from the county's allegations that a group of telecommunications providers failed to adequately charge customers for fees related to 911 emergency communications and remit the money to the county.
