concurring.
I join the majority’s view with respect to the importance of the issue, the difficulty of other remedies and the necessity for prompt action in this matter. However, I suggest our general power of plenary jurisdiction, 42 Pa.C.S. § 726, relaxes to some extent the strict common law constraints upon the writ of prohibition, which lay only where there was an absence of jurisdiction in the inferior court.
NIX, C.J., joins in this concurring opinion.
