EARL PATTON AND SHARON PATTON, H/W, Respondents v. WORTHINGTON ASSOCIATES, INC., Petitioner
Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court
ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 26th day of April, 2013, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:
Whether the Superior Court majority's precedential Opinion has sub silentio nullified the statutory employer doctrine and effectively overruled this Court's decision in McDonald v. Levinson Steel Co., 153 A. 424 (Pa. 1930), by grafting a fact question onto the McDonald analysis that can never be answered in a way that allows the statutory employer doctrine to apply?
