Keystone Building Corporation v. Lincoln Savings and Loan Association

This case involves a dispute over an alleged breach of contract by appellant Lincoln Savings and Loan Association. The controversy between Lincoln and appellee Keystone Building Corporation has been the subject of protracted litigation including an earlier appeal to this Court, 439 Pa. 444, 266 A.2d 648 (1970). On remand, the trial court held that a decree entered by consent of the parties is res judicata on the issue of Lincolns liability for breach of contract. The Superior Court affirmed and we granted the petition for allowance of appeal. We find that there was no determination of Lincolns liability, reverse the order and remand for further proceedings.
