Text: The Majority next argues that the Board's view on this matter is supported by cogent reasons and a sensible public policy. Majority Op. at 357. The Majority points to the consequences of adopting the Commonwealth Court's three prong test, highlighting grey marketing and the loss of consumer protection under Pennsylvania's Automobile Lemon Law, 73 Pa.S.A. §§ 19511963. While a court may consider the consequences of a particular interpretation, such considerations are only appropriate [w]hen the words of the statute are not explicit. 1 Pa.C.S.A. § 1921(c). By leaping directly to policy considerations and the resulting consequences of adopting the three prong test, the Majority disregards established principles of statutory construction.
