1. “This Court's scope of review is plenary when reviewing the propriety of a trial court's entry of summary judgment. Summary judgment is appropriate where there is no genuine issue of any essential fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Pa. R.C.P. 1035.2(1). In considering the motion, the trial court must examine the record in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, resolving all doubts against the moving party, who bears the burden of proving there is no genuine issue of material fact. An appellate court will reverse an order granting summary judgment only where there has been an error of law or clear abuse of discretion.”
