Notes of Decisions

   Jurisdiction

   The Commonwealth Court has exclusive jurisdiction over an action which challenges the conduct of a Board hearing, but the challenge should be by way of a mandamus action and not through a writ of habeas corpus. Moore v. Roth, 331 A.2d 509 (Pa. Super. 1974).

   Regulation

   Revocation of administrative parole is governed by the detailed regulations promulgated by the parole board and are separate from the revocation procedures used by the common pleas courts, which govern maximum terms of imprisonment of less than 2 years. Commonwealth v. McDermott, 547 A.2d 1236 (Pa. Super. 1988).
