    No. 58 EAL 2018 No. 59 EAL 2018
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    July 31, 2018
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 31st day of July, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:

(1) Whether, under this issue of first impression, the Superior Court misinterpreted the Fair Share Act 42 Pa.C.S. Sec. 7102 in holding that the Act requires the jury to apportion liability on a percentage basis as opposed to a per capita basis in this strict liability asbestos case?
(2) Whether, under this issue of first impression, the Superior Court misinterpreted the Fair Share Act in holding that the Act requires the jury to consider evidence of any settlements by the plaintiffs with bankrupt entities in connection with the apportionment of liability amongst joint tortfeasors?
