Description

This is an appeal by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (Commission) from an order of the Superior Court of Washington for Thurston County dated November 6, 1987, which declared invalid a security deposit rule adopted by the Commission through an order dated May 12, 1986 (effective July 31, 1986) as (1) an undue, though indirect, burden on interstate commerce without proof of "legitimate intrastate objectives" and "no less onerous alternatives;" and, (2) violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment through discrimination against interexchange telecommunications companies as a class, absent "explicit showing" and "definitive determination" of need for the security deposit rule.
