Appeals — Appealable order — Order certifying equity action to law side of court — Procedure — Pa. R. C. P. 1550(10) — Acts of June 7, 1907, P. L. 440 and March 5, 1925, P. L. 23.
1. An order certifying an action in equity to the law side of the court is a non-appealable interlocutory order.
2. The Act of June 7, 1907, P. L. 440, § 2, under which such an order was appealable, has been suspended by Rule 1550(10) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.
Before BELL, MUSMANNO, JONES, COHEN, BOK and EAGEN, JJ.
Appeal, No. 332, Jan. T., 1960, from order of Court of Common Pleas No. 5 of Philadelphia County, March T., 1957, No. 58, in equity, in case of Sallie C. Nachod v. Lewis P. Nachod et al. Appeal dismissed.
Equity.
Opinion filed sustaining defendant's preliminary objections and order entered certifying action to law side of court, opinion by REIMEL, J. Plaintiff appealed.
Arthur M. Soll, for appellant.
No argument was made nor brief submitted for appellee.
This appeal is from an order certifying the suit in equity to the law side of the court. In taking the appeal, the plaintiff relied for authorization upon Section 2 of the Act of June 7, 1907, P. L. 440, 12 Pa.C.S.A. § 1228. But that section of the Act of 1907 has been suspended by Rule 1550(10) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure: Korona v. Bensalem Township, 385 Pa. 283, 284, 122 A.2d 688. The appeal is, therefore, premature as having been taken from an interlocutory order which has not been made appealable by statute: see Section 4 of the Act of March 5, 1925, P. L. 23, 12 Pa.C.S.A. § 675.
Appeal dismissed at appellant's costs.
