W.Va. court rejects appeal of $404 million
natural gas verdict
by The Associated Press

The West Virginia Supreme Court has
rejected gas and electric utility NiSource
Inc.'s appeal of a $404 million verdict in a
class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of
thousands of West Virginia property
owners.

Plaintiffs' attorney Mike Carey says he's
pleased the court decided Thursday not to
hear the case. Carey adds that the plaintiffs
he's told about the decision are excited as
well.

NiSource Chief Executive Robert Skaggs
Jr., on the other hand, says he's surprised
and disappointed.

The suit accused NiSource and several
other companies of failing to make proper
royalty payments to thousands of property
owners who'd leased gas rights.

Carey says NiSource is responsible for
most of the damages
