The opinion
DEL SOLE, J.,
concurring:
¶ 1 While I join the Majority, I write separately to express my concern that the trial court refused to be bound by a prior decision on the same issue decided by another judge in the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County. Trial judges in multi-judge districts are required to follow precedent established in the same court on similar facts. Yudacufski v. Commonwealth, Dep’t of Transportation, 499 Pa. 605 , 454 A.2d 923, 926 (1982).
