OPINION BY CERCONE, J., December 11, 1972:
The issue presented in this appeal is whether or not a defendant, after an appeal by him to the Common Pleas Court from an arbitrator's award in plaintiff's favor, can amend his counterclaim so as to change its basis.
The lower court did not permit the amendment, and we hold this to be error. Amendments are liberally allowed under Rule 1033 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure
