Highlight

Any person who is directly interested in the proceedings before an administrative agency, who is factually aggrieved by the decision of the agency, and who participates in the proceedings before the agency is a party and has standing to appeal from the decision of the agency.

Standing does not extend to merely nominal parties who are not aggrieved.

Appellate review of PSC findings of fact is limited to whether a reasoning mind reasonably could have determed that the factual conclusions reached were proven by the weight of the evidence from the entire record.
We review an administrative law judge’s denial of a petition to intervene under the same standard as we review an agency’s decision.

Simply having a substantial interest in or being substantially affected by the outcome of an agency proceeding is not a showing of good cause to intervene late.
