In
re J.K. – Cmwlth. Court – June 10, 2015
On
appeal from finding of indicated report of child abuse, unrebutted testimony of
claimant’s attorney about inability to perfect appeal within applicable time
because of medical emergency was sufficient to establish non-negligent
circumstances permitting late appeal, under Bass v. Cmwlth, 401 A.2d
1133 (Pa. 1979) and its progency.
DPW
erred in requiring attorney to present other evidence to support his testimony,
when that testimony was neither challenged nor discredited
