Description
In this case, the appellee, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority ("SEPTA"), moved for summary judgment under the Sovereign Immunity Act, 42 Pa.C.S. §§8521-8528 (the "Sovereign Immunity Act" or "Act"), asserting that it may not be held liable to the appellant, Crystal Jones ("Jones"), for the injuries she allegedly sustained when she slipped on rock salt on a SEPTA train platform and fell. Jones responded that the Act's real estate exception, 42 Pa.C.S. §8522(b)(4), which serves to waive immunity, applies to her claim. We granted allocatur to clarify the parameters of §8522(b)(4). We conclude that Jones' claim does not fall within the exception. Accordingly, we affirm the Commonwealth Court's order, affirming the trial court's entry of summary judgment in favor of SEPTA.
