1. “An order dismissing some but not all counts of a multicount complaint is interlocutory, as appellant has not been put “out of court.” Evans v. Government Employees Insurance Company, 291 Pa.Super.Ct. 342 , 435 A.2d 1258 (1981); Mitchell v. Center City Cadillac [ 287 Pa.Super. 350 , 430 A.2d 321 ], supra; Bagshaw v. Vickers, 286 Pa.Super.Ct. 246 , 428 A.2d 664 (1981). Also, in Herman v. Harborcreek Township, 458 Pa. 202 , 321 A.2d 653 (1974) it was held that a decree sustaining in part and overruling in part preliminary objections to a complaint was neither a final decree terminating litigation nor an interlocutory decree on the question of jurisdiction and was therefore not appealable. We note additionally that the lower court did not certify the appeal to this court, nor is this appeal authorized by statute. See 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 702.”
