Chief Justice CAPPY
concurring.
I join the opinion of the majority. The majority reached the only result possible given the existing constraints of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.
I write separately to suggest that the problem of dual appellate tracks for cases involving a judgment on the merits of a legal action and the post-trial motions naturally arising therefrom; and the later disposition of separate post-trial ancillary matters, such as a motion for attorney fees, should be referred to our civil rules committee for review. Perhaps the committee can propose a solution that would permit a single appeal in cases involving multiple direct and ancillary post-trial matters.
