The Pennsylvania Superior Court has upheld the denial of attorney fees for lawyers representing a doctor in an appeal from a collection of judgment proceeding stemming from his breach of contract case against his employer.

A three-judge panel consisting of Judges Victor Stabile, Megan McCarthy King and Correale Stevens rejected Dr. Michael F. Szwerc’s argument that his request for attorney fees was not untimely and that trial court did have jurisdiction over the matter, contrary to its ruling.
