Durdella v. Rothman

49 A.2d 64, 159 Pa. Super. 508, 1946 Pa. Super. LEXIS 422
Superior Court of Pennsylvania·Decided October 4, 1946·No. Appeal, 88·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam,

We find no merit in the contention of appellant that the court abused its discretion and acted in an arbitrary manner in granting a new trial in this case. It appears that a new trial was granted, not on questions of law but in the exercise of a general discretion. Our appellate courts have uniformly held that under such circumstances the action of the lower court will not be reviewed. Com. v. Dolan et al., 155 Pa. Superior Ct. 453, 456, 38 A. 2d 497; Kerr et ux. v. Kofer et al., 341 Pa. 47, 17 A. 2d 886; Weinfeld v. Funk, 342 Pa. 160, 20 A. 2d 206.

Order affirmed.
