Executive Summary

The Superior Court of Pennsylvania affirmed summary judgment for AEP subsidiary West Penn Power in a dispute over utility pole relocation costs. The court held that the right-of-way agreement requires West Penn to relocate the poles but not to pay for relocation; the benefiting property owner bears the cost. The ruling is non-precedential and involves only $1,788.35, making it immaterial to AEP's financials.
