Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Public Utilities Act
Four consolidated appeals requesting direct administrative review of order of Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) authorizing Ameren to construct high voltage transmission line and related facilities across several Illinois counties and designated routes and locations for new construction. Petitioners are owners of property affected by ICC's order. Due process rights of petitioners were not violated by alleged insufficient notice of underlying proceedings, as those proceedings neither conferred property rights on Ameren nor deprived landowners of their protected property interests. ICC relied on appropriate considerations and its factual findings were supported by the evidence. (TURNER and HOLDER WHITE, concurring.)
