SAN FRANCISCO â A federal Judge used sharp language in addressing PG&E and its lawyers during a hearing on Wednesday to consider adding further conditions to the probation imposed after the utility s prior criminal convictions.
Decrying what he said was PG&E s history of employing slick legalese to elide taking stronger action to prevent its equipment from causing dangerous and sometimes lethal wildfires, U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco called out PG&E for vaguing out when providing information in one of its filings.
At one point, the judge asked for specific information on the number of trees in two priority safety categories, but neither PG&E s internal or outside counsel could give a specific answer. The judge commented, you don t know and lives depend on you knowing. The company provided the information later in the hearing.
