Re: Theft of power
I don't understand your question.
But if you are saying that someone else was
using the electricity that you were paying for,
then you can certainly file a lawsuit to
recover the dollar value of the electricity.
You may have trouble figuring out how much to
ask for, and to convince the judge of that
calculation. But you can file a lawsuit for
the other person to pay you for the use of the
electricity that you paid for.
