SAYLOR, Justice,
concurring and dissenting.
I join the majority opinion insofar as it concludes that these declaratory judgment proceedings were improperly dismissed on the CAT Fund’s preliminary objections. Rather than proceeding to the merits of the controversy, however, I would remand the matter to the Commonwealth Court for further proceedings as appropriate, since I would not at this juncture foreclose the CAT Fund from developing an evidentiary record to support its claim that preclusion of assignments in this context is a necessary corollary to the legislative scheme essential to protect the integrity and effective administration of the statutory claims procedure.
Justice NEWMAN joins this concurring and dissenting opinion.
