Scientific Living, Inc. v. Hohensee

235 A.2d 393, 427 Pa. 320, 1967 Pa. LEXIS 483

Opinion

Opinion

Per Curiam,

This appeal taken under the Act of March 5, 1925, P. L. 23, 12 P.S. §§672-675, questioning the jurisdiction of the lower court over the person of the defendant, must be quashed.

The Act of 1925, supra, §3, 12 P.S. §674, expressly stipulates that “The appeal here provided for must be taken and perfected within 15 days from the date when the decision is rendered.” (Emphasis added.) This requirement, which was not followed in the instant case, is mandatory and admits of no exceptions. See Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Luzerne County, 390 Pa. 143, 134 A. 2d 657 (1957), and Schwartz v. Schwartz, 419 Pa. 559, 215 A. 2d 614 (1966).

Appeal quashed. Costs on appellant.

Mr. Justice Musmanno took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
