Notes of Decisions
Because Board of Claims had never treated Pa.R.C.P. No. 227.1, requiring litigants to move for post-trial relief in order to achieve an appealable final order, as applying to Board proceedings, the court refused to super-impose such a requirement. Consolidated Rail Corp. v. Liquor Control Board, 496 A.2d 422 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1985).
Where a party before the Board of Arbitration of Claims sought to have potentially liable third parties served, the Board must effect service on such third parties. General State Authority v. J C Orr and Son, Incorporated, 332 A.2d 832 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1975).
Mandamus action to have court order Board of Arbitration of Claims to enter default judgment against Department of Public Welfare was dismissed where complaint gave Commonwealth only 20 rather than 30 days to answer, and 4 Pa. Code § 121.1 did not establish in the Board the office of prothonotary as required by law. UEC, Inc. v. Board of Arbitration of Claims, 314 A.2d 521 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1974); (superseded by statute as stated in Pennsylvania Institutional Health Servs. v. Dep’t of Corrections, 647 A.2d 692 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1994).
