Dave Lincoln files Notice of Appeal at Nova Scotia Court of Appeal challenging NSEB's May 28, 2026 dismissal of billing dispute against Nova Scotia Power

M12733 · NSPI DRO Appeal - Billing Issues - Dave Lincoln

AI summary

Appellant Dave Lincoln (Court File No. 555423) filed a Form 90.07B Notice of Appeal on July 13, 2026, seeking to overturn the May 28, 2026 decision of NSEB Board Member Marc L. Dunning, which upheld Nova Scotia Power Incorporated billing on Matter M12733.
The appeal raises ten grounds, including alleged errors of law relating to Billing Procedures: specifically that the Board improperly accepted NSP's retroactive reclassification of 'budget settlement agreements' as 'Equal Billing Plan' arrangements under Regulation 5.3 to avoid the written-signature requirement of Regulation 6.5(3).
Lincoln further alleges the Board relied on fabricated internal system logs (referencing a Veterans Affairs Canada third-party authorization), failed to strike Exhibit L-11 filed without proper service, and permitted NSP to issue a $2,368 invoice on June 19, 2026, during the active 30-day Appeal Processes window.
The underlying NSEB decision found that metered usage was reliably recorded, that blended Equal Billing/arrears arrangements required no written contract under Regulation 5.3, and directed NSP to establish a new 24-month repayment arrangement clearly separating current usage ($496/month) from arrears ($96/month toward a $2,305 balance).
Appellant requests, among other relief, an emergency stay of all collection actions, a forensic audit of the account dating to 2017, a declaration that all unsigned arrears arrangements are void ab initio, and joint costs against the NSEB and NSP.
