210 Pa. Code Rule 1102. Improvident Appeals.

Rule 1102. Improvident Appeals.

If an appeal is improvidently taken to the Supreme Court under Rule 1101 (appeals as of right from the Commonwealth Court) in a case where the proper mode of review is by petition for allowance of appeal under this chapter, this alone shall not be a ground for dismissal, but the papers whereon the appeal was taken shall be regarded and acted on as a petition for allowance of appeal and as if duly filed in the Supreme Court at the time the appeal was taken.

   Official Note
   Based on 42 Pa.C.S. §  724(b) (improvident appeals). In a similar fashion, any motion to quash the appeal would be regarded as an answer to the petition under Rule 1116 (answer to the petition for allowance of appeal).
