Idaho Supreme Court July 19, 2000, No. 25221 (Orthman v. Idaho Power Co.)

KIDWELL, Justice.

Russell and Nancy Orthman appealed from the trial court’s judgment for the defendant, Idaho Power Company, in a tort action. The Orthmans sued Idaho Power for negligence when Russell was severely injured trying to reconnect electrical power to his house. Idaho Power had disconnected the power because the Orthmans were delinquent in paying their account.
