Paolucci v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review

127 A.3d 1289, 633 Pa. 697, 2015 Pa. LEXIS 2834, 2015 WL 8096446

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 8th day of December, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues are:

(1) Does the Commonwealth Court’s opinion conflict with this Court’s precedent in Bortz v. WCAB, [546 Pa. 77, 683 A.2d 259 (1996),] which recognized the distinct conduct standards in workers’ compensation and unemployment compensation adjudications?

(2) Does the Commonwealth Court’s opinion conflict with this Court’s precedent in Harkness v. U[nemployment Comp. Bd. of Review 591 Pa. 543, 920 A.2d 162 (2007),] which emphasized the prompt and informal nature of unemployment compensation proceedings and, therefore, presents a question of such substantial public importance as to require this Court’s definitive resolution?
