WIEAND, Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. Inasmuch as neither party has objected to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court, its jurisdiction has been perfected. Pa.R.A.P. 741(a). Although we may nevertheless transfer an appeal to the Commonwealth Court (Pa.R.A.P. 752(a)), I believe the parties would be better served in this case if we were to retain jurisdiction and decide the appeal on its merits. This is particularly true where, as here, the appeal also includes a request for appellate review of summary dismissal of a count in appellant’s complaint which is based on breach of contract and which is clearly within the appellate jurisdiction of this Court.
