PAPADAKOS, Justice,
dissenting.
I join the dissent of Mr. Justice Larsen and state that if the Court can find it in its heart (for it would be lodged nowhere else) to deny a verdict winner the right to move for judgment n.o.v., not because the appropriate Pa. Rule of Civil Procedure 230 prohibits the motion, but solely because the court believes that the verdict winner cannot prevail on its motion (and this before the merits are presented),1 then the same heart should rule in this case and let not a *591technical defect which prejudices no one deny the legally, correct party its summary judgment.
