Corson v. Corson's, Inc.

Superior Court of Pennsylvania

Decided September 11, 1981No. 1717PublishedCited by 16 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

BROSKY, Judge:

Perle Corson has appealed from the order entered by the court below opening the judgment by confession obtained by her against appellee in the amount of $4,200. The matter was heard on the petition to open judgment, appellant’s answer and new matter, and appellee’s reply to new matter. No depositions were taken. The central issue for our determination is whether the court below abused its discretion in opening the judgment. The court opened the judgment on the ground that appellee had produced sufficient evidence to justify submission of the case to a jury. We reverse.
