Original Court Document: View Document
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania granted the Petition for Allowance of Appeal on January 28, 2020, concerning the case involving Anthony and Karen Degliomini as petitioners against ESM Productions, Inc. and the City of Philadelphia as respondents. The Court will address two key issues: 1. Whether the City of Philadelphia can contractually exempt itself from tort liability for failing to fulfill a long-standing public safety duty, which is recognized under common law and codified in both the Pennsylvania Tort Claims Act and the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter. 2. Whether an exculpatory release agreement from The Phillies protects the City from liability regarding its negligent repair of a road hazard that occurred prior to the agreement being drafted and prior to the incident covered by the release.
