Self-represented appellant Dave Lincoln files correspondence alleging NS Power continued billing during active dispute stay, with matter proceeding to Nova Scotia Court of Appeal Chambers teleconference on August 12, 2026
AI summary
- Dave Lincoln, a self-represented disabled veteran, filed two emails (Exhibits 102886 and 102889) documenting an ongoing billing dispute with Nova Scotia Power Incorporated, alleging six consecutive monthly invoices were issued against his account while a formal dispute was active, with the most recent July 21, 2026 bill totalling $2,960.00 against an account balance of $5,341.61.
- Lincoln alleges NS Power violated Regulations 6.4 (Stay of Proceedings) and 6.5(3) (Signature Mandate) of the Nova Scotia Power Incorporated Regulations, claiming billing enforcement should have been frozen since his initial dispute filing on February 2, 2026, and that an unsigned Equal Billing Plan exceeding 30 days was imposed without his written consent or physical signature.
- Lincoln specifically disputes the characterization of an $803/month payment arrangement as an 'Equal Billing Plan,' alleging it was verbally agreed to by a third party without his consent or power of attorney, and points to NS Power's own Exhibit L-11 as logging his actual usage at $4.30/day ($129/month) on a 182-day billing cycle.
- NS Power lawyer Jennifer Power responded on July 22, 2026, directing all further correspondence to herself, declining to address substantive issues under appeal, and confirming NS Power's participation in the August 12, 2026 Chambers teleconference before the Court of Appeal (Court File No. 555423).
- The matter has escalated from the NSEB Appeal Processes DRO level to the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal, with Lincoln indicating he will present the billing timeline as evidence of continuing non-compliance before the Chambers judge.
