4. That an answer was filed on October 18, 2004, which denied the allegations in the complaint and requested the Commission to dismiss the Complaint. Therefore, by Opinion and Order entered October 25, 2007, the complaint was sustained and a Settlement Agreement was approved. Respondent was ordered to pay a civil penalty of five hundred dollars ($500). The Order was sent by Certified Mail and served on respondent on October 27, 2007. To date, no payment was made on the $500.00 fine.
A certificate holder has an obligation to comply with the Commission's rules and regulations. A certificate of public convenience is neither a contract nor a property; it is a privilege. Where that privilege is violated, the Commission may, for due cause, exercise its power to revoke a carrier's privilege to operate. Paradise v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 132 A.2d 754, 184 Pa. Superior Court 8 (1957).
Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission issue an Order which revokes the Certificate of Public Convenience held by respondent at Docket No. A-00117577 and fines respondent the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00).
