Frazier v. City of Philadelphia
Court: Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; November 11, 1998; Pennsylvania; State Supreme Court
The Petition for Allowance of Appeal is granted specifically regarding the issue of whether the Commonwealth Court incorrectly quashed the Petitioner’s appeal as untimely. The Petitioner argues that they were prohibited from filing a notice of appeal until the proper notice under Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 236 was provided and recorded. The trial court's final order from April 8, 1997, was not docketed with the required Rule 236 notice until November 5, 1997. Subsequently, the Petitioner filed an appeal to the Commonwealth Court on November 10, 1997. The case will be submitted for consideration based on briefs.
