Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Pignetti, G & J, h/w, Aplts. v. PennDOT

April 25, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania reversed the Commonwealth Court’s order, holding that the plain language of 26 Pa.C.S. § 705 requires only that noncontiguous parcels be used together for a unified purpose, and that the Commonwealth Court improperly added a heightened “inseparably connected” requirement. The case was remanded for further proceedings on the ownership issue.
