Bolden v. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 29th day of March 2006, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is granted. The parties are directed to address the following issue:

Whether the Commonwealth Court erred in affirming the trial court’s decision that a door closing mechanism on a train is a “part and appurtenance” within the meaning of the Locomotive Inspection Act (LIA) in determining strict liability for an injury sustained by a railroad employee?

Justice BALDWIN did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
