A federal court judge has denied an attempt by Central Maine Power and its parent company to dismiss or delay a case being brought by customers who claim they received inaccurate charges from a new billing system, and that the company then tried to cover up the defects. The decision opens the door for plaintiffs' attorneys to gather information and question company officials, potentially leading to a class-action lawsuit on behalf of customers.
