The Pennsylvania Superior Court has affirmed a ruling transferring an insurance dispute over an auto accident from Philadelphia to Bucks County to avoid potentially inconsistent rulings because of a related matter in the latter court.

A three-judge panel consisting of Judges John Bender, Anne Lazarus and Correale Stevens upheld a Bucks County judge’s ruling sustaining defendant Erie Insurance Exchange’s preliminary objections of plaintiff Jason Matthews’ suit and its request to change venue.
