                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PRESCRIBING DIVISIONS OF JOINT RATES (§ 5.1-127)

Whenever, after hearing, upon complaint or upon its own initiative, the
Commission is of opinion that the divisions of joint rates, fares or charges,
applicable to the transportation of passengers or property by common or
restricted common carriers by aircraft or by such carriers in conjunction with
common carriers by railroad, motor vehicle, express and/or water are or will be
unjust, unreasonable, inequitable, or unduly preferential or prejudicial as
between the carriers parties thereto (whether agreed upon by such carriers, or
any of them, or otherwise established), the Commission shall by order prescribe
the just, reasonable, and equitable divisions thereof to be received by the
several carriers. In cases where the joint rate, fare, or charge was established
pursuant to a finding or order of the Commission and the divisions thereof are
found by it to have been unjust, unreasonable, or inequitable, or unduly
preferential or prejudicial, the Commission may also by order determine what
would have been the just, reasonable, and equitable divisions thereof to be
received by the several carriers, and require adjustment to be made in
accordance therewith. The order of the Commission may require the adjustment of
divisions between the carriers, in accordance with the order, from the date of
filing the complaint or entry of order of investigation or such other date
subsequent as the Commission finds justified and, in the case of joint rates
prescribed by the Commission, the order as to divisions may be made effective as
a part of the original order.
