*250McDERMOTT, Justice,
dissenting.
In the case relied upon by the majority, a plurality of this Court quashed a party’s appeal from an enforcement order entered by the Commonwealth Court. See Pennsylvania Department of Aging v. Lindberg, 503 Pa. 423, 469 A.2d 1012 (1983). I concurred in the result on the basis that the enforcement order there at issue was merely ancillary to the Commonwealth Court’s appellate jurisdiction. See Concurring Opinion, McDermott, J., Id., 503 Pa. at 436, 469 A.2d at 1019.
Here, however, the Commonwealth Court never had appellate jurisdiction. Thus, the Lindberg decision is not directly on point. Since the enforcement proceeding in this case, by necessity, was originally commenced in the Commonwealth Court I dissent from the decision to quash the appeal.
