Safeguard Mutual Insurance Co. v. Joyce

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Feb 8, 1988
539 A.2d 340 (Pa. 1988)

Opinion

February 8, 1988.

Petition No. 428 E.D. Allocatur Dkt. 1987 for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania entered April 28, 1987, at No. 3363 Philadelphia 1984, 362 Pa. Super. 522, 524 A.2d 1362 (1987), affirming Order of Court of Common Pleas, Civil Division, Philadelphia County, No. 203 January Term 1980.


ORDER


The petition for allowance of appeal is granted, the order of Superior Court, 362 Pa. Super. 522, 524 A.2d 1362, is reversed, and the matter is remanded to the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, with instructions to dismiss the case. The Insurance Commissioner's suspension order of May 29, 1979, and the Commonwealth Court's dissolution and liquidation order of April 21, 1982, precluded the institution or further prosecution of actions against Safeguard Mutual Insurance Company. Common Pleas Court was therefore without jurisdiction to entertain this matter.
