N.J. Supreme Court Ruling Imminent in Altice Cable Prorating Case

A New Jersey Supreme Court opinion is coming Monday at 10 a.m. in an Altice cable prorating case, the court clerk’s office said in a Friday notice. The state is appealing a 2021 state Appellate Division decision that the federal Cable Act preempts the state prorating rule. At a January oral argument, New Jersey Supreme Court justices challenged Altice on its claim that a state requirement to prorate cable bills is impermissible rate regulation (see 2301170067).
