(1) Under the law as enunciated by the Supreme Court in Mamalis v. Atlas Van Lines, Inc., 522 Pa. 214, 560 A.2d 1380 (1989), does a plaintiff’s release of all claims against a principal also release an agent for whose conduct the principal would have been vicariously liable, regardless of any purported reservation in the release of a right to pursue a claim against the agent?
