ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 21st day of August, 2023, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Where a non-party to a partnership agreement is not a signatory to the agreement and is not a third-party beneficiary of it and where a partnership agreement does not permit assignment, whether the Court’s review is necessary to clarify the circumstances where a non-party could be permitted to “step into the shoes” of a party to an agreement and to enforce contractual rights as if that individual were a party to the agreement.
