Neel, Insurance Commissioner v. Williams

Opinion by

Hirt, J.,

This case came to the common pleas on an appeal from a judgment entered by a justice of the peace. After plaintiff’s statement was filed, the lower court, on defendants’ rule, dismissed the action on the ground that the justice did not have jurisdiction of the cause of action and the common pleas therefore had none on appeal.. The legal principle invoked is well settled. Moreland Twp. v. Gordner, 109 Pa. 116. In our view the justice had jurisdiction; the order will be reversed.
