ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 1st day of February, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all
remaining issues. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:
Whether the Trial Court and Superior Court erred in sustaining
[Respondent’s] demurrer to all [c]ounts of [Petitioner’s] Complaint,
where, even assuming arguendo that the Compensation Plan was
in violation of R.P.C. 5.4, Pennsylvania law, public policy and the
interests of justice require such an agreement to be enforced
because an attorney must not be shielded from liability, nor
financially rewarded for violating the Rules of Professional
Conduct[?]
Justice Mundy did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
