The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to hear argument over the denial of more than $150,000 in 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.

In an order dated Feb. 17, the justices granted allocatur in Dr. Michael F. Szwerc’s case against Lehigh Valley Health Network. Previously, a three-judge Superior Court panel rejected Szwerc’s argument for attorney fees as untimely and outside the jurisdiction of the court.
