Wednesday, September 7, 2016 Top court rules against power hike freezeThe five members of the Supreme Court ruled against the injunction suspending electricity hikes in Buenos Aires province yesterday. The ruling quashing the original decision by a La Plata federal court that froze electricity bill hikes was unanimous. Last month, the Supreme Court upheld an injunction on gas price increases and ordered the government to hold public hearings before it can increase prices. Although the attorney general’s recommendation is not binding, it’s an element that the Supreme Court can use to make their decision, something that they did a few hours after Gils Carbó’s statement was published. The magistrate warned that if users didn’t act in solidarity, and people started paying for the service, in spite of the court injunction, others would then have their electricity cut off.
