	Pennsylvania Supreme Court Affirms Ruling In Favor of London Market Insurers-Lord Bissell & Brook
		The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has affirmed an intermediate appellate court decision in favor of London Market Insurers and the Home Insurance Company, stating that under Pennsylvania law, an insurer may void an insurance policy when an insured secures the policy by means of fraudulent misrepresentations.
		In its 4-3 ruling in favor of the insurers, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania confirmed that the insurers must prove that the fraudulent misrepresentations were material to the risk.
		Based on the evidence, the Court concluded that there was sufficient support for the jury’s verdict on the issue of fraud and that the trial court’s entry of judgment notwithstanding that verdict was error.

	Appeal of Lord-Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

		The Zoning Code provides: "Any person aggrieved by and decision of the board of adjustment, "may" appeal to the court of common pleas by petition, duly verified, setting forth that such decision is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law and specifying the grounds upon which he relies".
		The Superior Court reversed the order of the Court of Common Pleas on the ground that the proposed antenna mast violated the Zoning Ordinance, and that the Board of Adjustment's decision was not a manifest abuse of discretion.

	So here's an idea
		The Court's wish for "a kind of checklist" to provide the hearing court with a method for organizing and considering relevant facts and circumstances in an orderly fashion is one that is easy to fulfill.
		Such a list would obviously assist courts in considering issues that should be and it would also seem obvious that use of such lists would provide a more orderly approach than waiting for the litigants themselves to present their cases.
		In addition, it authorizes the courts to consider relevant factors in the determination of a child support award, whether or not they are explicitly given in the standard formula.

	IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA - BRIEF OF PHILIP H. KLINE
		The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has held that, in cases involving a challenge to the constitutionality of a statute based upon a perceived violation of equal protection guarantees contained in the Constitution of the United States, three distinct standards of judicial review may be applicable:
		Consequently, Father urges this Court to hold that the appropriate standard to be applied in the case at bar is a heightened or intermediate standard.
		Should this Court conclude that a heightened standard of scrutiny is not required, the constitutional legitimacy of the legislation must be determined by an application of the rational basis test.

	Grubor v. Pennsylvania - October 1995
		The trial court was aware of the Petitioner's claim of a "medical necessity," and a plea bargain of "one year probation with NO other penalty" was agreed to by the parties.
		The Pennsylvania Court in Plowman held that the purpose of the "primary statute at issue" in the instant case was "deterrence," and this Honorable United States Supreme Court held in Halper that if the purpose or characterization of a sanction was a "deterrent," that the defendant may not be subjected to the sanction.
		The Pennsylvania Plowman case, by which the decision in the instant case was supported, is in DIRECT conflict with this Honorable Court's ruling in the Halper, id, and thereby creates some very valid grounds for the granting of the Writ of Certiorari to the Petitioner in the case at bar.

		In upholding the slots law, the Supreme Court said it wasn't taking a position one way or the other on whether gambling expansion was a good idea.

	OPINION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT, OCTOBER 29, 1998 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		It appears from a reading of the record that the court's ruling was, at least in part, based upon finding that this line of questioning was irrelevant since the proffer regarding Jones' testimony was only that she would testify as to what she saw on December 9, 1981.
		Appellant submits that the PCRA court applied the wrong legal standard here insofar as his claim regarding Jones was not that her testimony constituted "after-discovered evidence" but rather that this evidence of police coercion constituted undisclosed Brady materials.
		Rather, the court commented that, given the representations of Appellant's PCRA counsel that they had tried repeatedly to subpoena him but were unsuccessful, the court would, at that point, conclude the proceedings, but that in the event the defense was able to produce William Cook, the proceedings would be reopened.

		In the fourth judicial action, the lower court claimed no jurisdiction and chose not to proceed with unliquidated damages, this is in direct contradiction to the three prior judicial actions, where the lower court assumed jurisdiction in the same matter, while assuming jurisdiction to serve respondent's purposes.
		This court's exercise of its extraordinary jurisdiction is appropriate where the Superior Court has failed to take plenary review of issues preserved in the lower court and properly raised and presented on appeal, yet the Superior Court stated in Memorandum that petitioner waived the right.
		The Superior Court misrepresented as fact in memorandum "Issues not raised in the lower court are waived", that which is in fact not true.

		Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, ruling in the case of Lindh vs. Surman, has settled, at long last, a question that has dogged women since engagements were first broken: where to throw the ring.
		After careful deliberation, the court has decided it should be hurled firmly in the direction of the giver, perhaps while wishing he had instead given a ceremonial hatchet.
		Five years later, the justices reasoned, as they occasionally do, that if Pennsylvanians may now divorce without either side assigning blame to the other, it would be inconsistent to assume that they should end engagements with liability attached.
