“The fact that the Commonwealth has waived its immunity to quiet title actions before the Board cannot be construed as a waiver of immunity in any other forum. ‘Where a State through its Legislature consents to be sued, the modes, terms and conditions of the statute conferring such privilege . . . must be strictly construed and followed [Citations omitted.]’ Land Holding Corporation v. Board of Finance & Review, 388 Pa. 61, 65 , 130 A.2d 700, 703 (1957).”

Commonwealth“Suits which, seek to compel affirmative action on the part of state officials or to obtain money damages or to recover property from the Commonwealth are within the rule of immunity; suits which simply seek to restrain state officials from performing affirmative acts are not within the rule of immunity.
