Appellate Review Jurisdiction • Rule 341(c) Certification • Collateral Order Doctrine • Attorney-Client Privilege
Ignelzi v. Ogg, Cordes, Murphy and Ignelzi, LLP, PICS Case No. 17-0672 (Pa. Super. April 19, 2017) Strassburger, J. (15 pages).
Court found that partners presented no reviewable issues in their appeal of trial court’s discovery order, in dispute over the dissolution of a law partnership, because despite trial court’s rule 341(c) certification, the order was not appealable under the clear language of that rule, the order did not satisfy the separability prong of the collateral order doctrine and partners presented no facts and no privilege log to meet their burden to assert facts to establish the applicability of attorney-client privilege. Appeal quashed.
