Farinacci v. Beaver County Industrial Development Authority

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that filing of brief arguing against defendants’ preliminary 8 objections instead of filing preliminary objections to defendants’ preliminary objections was procedurally erroneous
• holding that while an eight- or nine-day delay in service due to counsel’s misplacement of the file may demonstrate a good-faith effort to effectuate service, a four-week delay attributable to counsel’s faulty memory was insufficient to demonstrate good faith
• holding that where preliminary objection to preliminary objection is the proper method for challenging a preliminary objection, raising the issue in a brief will not result in waiver, despite the erroneous procedure, where the trial court considered the underlying issue
• holding a delay in service attributable to counsel’s failure to take necessary steps to effectuate service was insufficient to establish good-faith effort
• emphasizing that it is within a trial court’s “sound discretion” to determine whether a good-faith effort to effectuate service was made
• requiring plaintiff to make “a good-faith effort to effectuate notice of commencement of the action”
