abuse - contempt - appeal - final order

Takosky v. Henning - Superior Court - August 25, 2006

http://www.courts.state.pa.us/OpPosting/Superior/out/s43012_06.pdf

Defendant's appeal from a finding of contempt was quashed. Although the trial court had found him in contempt, it had not imposed any sanctions or punishment. "It is well settled that unless sanctions or imprisonment is [sic] imposed, an Order declaring a party to be in contempt is held to be interlocutory and not appealable."
