Rothrock v. Rothrock Motor Sales, Inc.

Citation: 833 A.2d 138

Court: Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; October 2, 2003; Pennsylvania; State Supreme Court

EnglishEspañolSimplified EnglishEspañol Fácil
The petition for allowance of appeal has been granted as of October 2, 2003. The parties are instructed to address two primary questions: 

1. Whether the Superior Court made an error by establishing a new exception to the at-will employment doctrine.
2. Whether the Superior Court incorrectly applied the precedent set in Shick v. Shirey, 552 Pa. 590, 716 A.2d 1231 (1998) retroactively in this case.

Additionally, the parties must consider the implications of Harper v. Virginia Dept. of Taxation, 509 U.S. 86, 113 S.Ct. 2510, 125 L.Ed.2d 74 (1993) on existing case law stemming from Schreiber v. Republic Intermodal Corp., 473 Pa. 614, 375 A.2d 1285 (1977).
