Morris A. Palmer, and Alice Taylor, Intervening v. Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that Due Process Clause applied to termination of gas service because gas companies in Ohio are subject to comprehensive system of state regulatory authority
• rejecting the claim that “the mere theoretical possibility of informal resolution” with company figures—a possibility unknown to customers—meets due process standards
• operations of gas company held to be state action, and company required to adhere to due process requirements of notice and hearing prior to termination of services
• entry of gas company’s collectors upon private property to shut off customer’s gas had trappings of a sheriff or constable and therefore satisfied the color of state law requirement
