Text: NNG-3 claims the Utilities Board acted unreasonably by failing to defer to the outcome of the Nebraska litigation over the refund before exercising its jurisdiction. We disagree. Cf. Edward Rose Bldg. Co. v. Cascade Lumber Co., 621 N.W.2d 193, 195-96 (Iowa 2001) (describing general principles of comity between courts of different states). The refund order issued by the board does not impair any potential contract rights NNG-3 may have to require Aquila to pay the refund, and for NNG-3 to seek reimbursement. See generally State, Dep't of Human Servs. ex rel. Palmer v. Unisys Corp., 637 N.W.2d 142, 149-50 (Iowa 2001) (discussing general principles and theories relating to recovery for unjust enrichment).
