Court Rules Procedural Error Not Grounds for Nonsuit in Pa.

A plaintiff's procedural error in notifying the defendant of the documentary evidence to be offered at trial was not grounds for a nonsuit, the Pa. Commonwealth Court has ruled. An en banc panel voted 5-2 to vacate and remand a trial court's granting of a nonsuit in a case in which the plaintiff filed a pretrial statement listing the documents he intended to offer as evidence, but did not title the documents "notice" and "stipulation" as specified in the Pa. Rules of Civil Procedure.
