The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court disagreed with the Court of Common Pleas that this appeal should be quashed. Upper Pottsgrove Township appealed a zoning issue and served its statement of errors on the trial court via UPS. The trial court opined that the appeal should be quashed because the litigant did not include a United States Postal Service Form 3817 (Certificate of Mailing). The Commonwealth Court disagreed, holding that a commercial carrier like UPS is acceptable for making service. The Court, therefore, ordered the trial court to issue an opinion reaching the merits of the matter.
