Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

In Re: Condemn by City of Phila. Airport Bus. Ctr.

February 18, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania affirmed the Commonwealth Court’s order quashing the City’s appeal, holding that the trial court’s pre‑trial order did not "confirm, modify, or change" the board of viewers’ report and therefore was not a final, appealable order; the Court also found Hession distinguishable and that mixed questions of fact and law concerning highest and best use are not immediately appealable.
