Superior Court of Pennsylvania

1Opinion of the Court
HESTER, Judge:
John and Betty Jo Belzel, appellants, appeal from the August 9, 1990 order of the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas denying their petition to open a confessed judgment. The sole issue raised on appeal is whether the trial court erred in ruling that the parol evidence offered by appellants was inadmissible to establish the discharge of a cognovit judgment note upon which appellee confessed judgment against appellants. We find error in the trial court’s ruling and consequently, we reverse the order of the trial court and open the judgment.
