According to Pitts, the Court of Appeal’s ruling is significant as it reminds public utilities providers to adhere to the legislation.

“Quite frankly this decision is well received because what it does for the Public Utilities Commission which is a statutory body it tells the public, it tells public utilities provider that the Public Utilities Commission by legislation regulates the actions among them and that the Public Utilities Commission jurisdiction thereof ought to be revered. The Public Utilities Commission operates to buffer the burden of providers that they would want to pass over to the public. So the Public Utilities Commission in this judgment I believe should be celebrated for fighting on behalf of the people of Belize to ensure that public utilities providers are regulated and they adhere to the legislation.”
