433 Pa.Super. 65 (1994)

639 A.2d 1213

COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Appellant, v. CSX TRANSPORTATION, INC., Appellee.

Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

Filed April 7, 1994.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Emily Smarto, Asst. Dist. Atty., Greensburg, for Com., appellant.

James Becker, Philadelphia, for appellee.

Before CAVANAUGH, KELLY and BROSKY, JJ.


KELLY, Judge:

In this appeal, we must determine if the Pennsylvania Superior Court is the proper appellate court to review a trial court's decision concerning a regulatory statute which imposes criminal penalties. We hold that the Commonwealth Court is the proper appellate court to review a trial court's decision regarding a regulatory statute even when the statute imposes criminal penalties. Thus, we transfer this appeal to the Commonwealth Court.
