ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 22nd day of February, 2022, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

(1) Whether an out-of-possession contractor cannot be subject to liability under
Section 385 of the Restatement of Torts for injuries to third-parties where
the dangerous condition of the structure erected by the contractor is well-
known to the possessor of land?
Justice Brobson did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
