Derechos sobre certificados de conveniencia pública en Georgia

Explicación Simple

En Georgia, si tienes un certificado para usar las carreteras, no significa que tengas un derecho permanente. Si dejas de prestar un servicio, el gobierno puede quitarte ese certificado sin que puedas quejarte en un tribunal.

Es como si alquilaras un coche. Aunque pagues por el alquiler, si dejas de usarlo, el dueño puede llevárselo de vuelta cuando quiera.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene un certificado para operar un autobús en una ruta específica. Si deja de llevar pasajeros en esa ruta, el gobierno puede cancelar su certificado sin que Juan pueda apelar esa decisión en un tribunal.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Editor's notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Code 1933, § 68-631 are included in the annotations for this Code section. No certificate holder acquires vested right or perpetual franchise. - No holder of a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by the commission shall acquire any vested right to use the public roads or any perpetual franchises. Bass v. Georgia Public-Service Comm'n, 192 Ga. 106 , 14 S.E.2d 740 (1941) (decided under former Code 1933, § 68-631). No right to review of commission order by writ of certiorari. - After a certificate of public convenience and necessity had been granted by the commission to a motor common carrier, and thereafter, by order of the commission, and after a hearing such certificate was revoked and canceled because the evidence adduced at such hearing showed that such motor common carrier had abandoned the passenger service along the route in question, the motor common carrier, whose certificate of public convenience had thus been revoked and canceled by the commission did not have the right to review such judgment or order of the commission by the writ of certiorari in the superior court having jurisdiction. Southeastern Greyhound Lines v. Georgia Pub. Serv. Comm'n, 181 Ga. 75 , 181 S.E. 834 (1935) (decided under former Code 1933, § 68-631). Cited in Coleman v.
