How courts have described this case

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

• holding that 71 P.S. § 741.952(c) of the Civil Service Act, Act of August 5, 1941, P.L. 752, as amended, permits the State Civil Service Commission to modify or set aside disciplinary action
• holding that Section 952(c), which was added to the Civil Service Act in 1989 as a procedural change, applied retroactively and empowered the Commission, rather than the appointing authority, to make the final determination of just cause
• it is well settled that legislation concerning purely procedural matters will be applied not only to litigation commenced after its passage, but also to litigation existing at the time of its passage
• error of law to not apply statute which gives the Commission the power to modify the appointing authority’s action regardless of whether charges are proven because statute merely changes the scope of review which is a procedural matter
