George JOHNSON, Respondent v. LANSDALE BOROUGH and Lansdale Borough Civil Service Commission, Petitioners.
ORDER
AND NOW, this 28th day of July, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED, LIMITED to the following issues, as stated by Petitioner:
a. Whether the Commonwealth Court committed reversible error by holding that a common pleas court's standard of review of a civil service commission adjudication is de novo, where a common pleas court takes no additional evidence on appeal and limits itself to the record before the commission?
b. Whether the Commonwealth Court committed reversible error by holding that a common pleas court may modify a penalty imposed by a municipality, where there is no evidence whatsoever that the penalty
was arbitrary, capricious, or discriminatory?
In all other respects, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is DENIED.
