Facts

Various performers on two of D’s shows used curse words such as shit and fuck during the performance. Eventually, after a change in position related to the single use of such words, P fined D. D appealed this holding, and it was reversed by the court of appeals who used a higher standard for capricious when an agency reversed its prior course of decisions.
