Right of Petition

The document presents a request to archive an investigation and not recover payments from a utility company. The client argues that they are not responsible for the malfunction of the meter that was installed 27 years ago and for which the company is responsible for checking and replacing. The client complied with paying the bills and had no access to manipulate the meter, whose seals were intact. The company lost the right to additional charges due to its failure to timely check and replace the meter.
