How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that “the filing of such praecipe, irrespective of whether the Prothonotary issued the writ or the Sheriff served it, constituted the ‘commencement’ of an action under Pa.R.Civ.P. 1007(1)”
• where plaintiff originally filed a void action against a deceased person by writ, but later filed – after the statute of limitations had run – a complaint against the personal representative of the deceased at the same docket, the new filing did not cure the jurisdictional defect
