Most-quoted passages

“We are not insensitive to the policy concerns forcefully expressed by the dissent. However, we are not free in diversity cases to apply our own notion of policy, but must predict that which is likely to be accepted by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The dissent suggests that that court will not accept the holding of the only Pennsylvania Appellate Court to speak to the issue. We are not convinced that the Superior Court’s Margerum decision is so far out of the mainstream of state law that it will be rejected by the Supreme Court.”
