I previously
posted on this case when a panel of 3 Superior Court Justices
affirmed a Lower Court decision to grant summary judgment in favor
of the company who employed a valet service.
Now the Court En Banc has voted 6-3 to affirm the Lower Court decision.
In doing so the Court has ruled on a case of first impression in
finding that there is no duty owed by a parking valet to withhold
keys of an intoxicated driver. I expect that a Petition for
Allowance of Appeal might be filed with the Pa Supreme Court.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
