Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

In Re: Prospect Crozer from the Delaware County Board of Assessment

December 17, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania addressed whether a Section 17(a) violation constituted a non‑waivable structural error and clarified that structural errors can be subject to waiver, making them amenable to harmless‑error analysis. The Court affirmed that the lower court’s characterization of the error as non‑waivable was incorrect.
