A Philadelphia Municipal Court judge has identified a conflict between a state law and a local court procedural rule on how much time Philadelphia litigants challenging money judgments in landlord-tenant cases have to appeal to the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.
Judge Bradley K. Moss said in his opinion in Luck Enterprises v. Melton , which was released earlier this summer, that all “parties are on notice of this court’s holding that Rule 1001 is inconsistent with Section 513(b) and should act in accordance with this decision.”
