HARRISBURG – A legal reform group has asked a Supreme Court of Pennsylvania committee to immediately issue a report on the impact of its decision to allow plaintiffs greater flexibility in where to file medical malpractice cases , nearly six months after the rule change went into effect. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania's Civil Procedural Rules Committee's move last year to change a rule placing venue guidelines on medical malpractice liability cases, which had been in place for two decades, was cheered by personal injury attorneys and criticized by health care and business interests.
