Opinion
November 27, 2001.
Petition No. 53 WAL 2001 for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court.
ORDER
AND NOW, this 27th day of November, 2001, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED, LIMITED to the following issue:
Did the Superior Court err in determining as a matter of law that a negligence claim under Section 371 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts can never support an award of punitive damages against an employer, even when the employer is found to have engaged in willful, reckless and abhorrent conduct?
