Coleman v. Duane Morris, LLP

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
Jun 13, 2013

PER CURIAM.

Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court, No. 48 EAL 2013.

Prior report: Pa.Super., 58 A.3d 833.

ORDER


PER CURIAM.


AND NOW, this 13th day of June 2013, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED.

The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Does the limitation on damages in a legal malpractice action sounding only in contract set forth in Bailey v. Tucker, 533 Pa. 237, 252, 621 A.2d 108, 115 (1993)—which limited such damages to “the amount actually paid for the services plus statutory interest” in a case involving an underlying criminal representation—apply where the underlying representation is a civil one?
