PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 27th day of December, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner is:
Whether the Commonwealth Court, in affirming the Huntingdon County Trial
Court’s grant of Summary Judgment, has unwarrantedly expanded sovereign
immunity under 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 8521 et. seq., and hence, continued the dwindling
applicability of the real estate exception under 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 8522(b)(4) to a
dangerous level in its continued disregard of the legislative intent of the Sovereign
Immunity Act and enumerated exceptions, and also advances existing conflict and
confusion within an already unclear legal history?
