: Respondents : ORDER PER CURIAM
AND NOW , this 26th day of September, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:
a. Does the Superior Court’s decision to reverse the trial court’s
finding of waiver, despite Giant Eagle’s failure to object to flawed jury instructions, flawed verdict slip and/or the problematic verdict, all of which contributed to the error complained of on appeal, conflict with this Court’s holding in Straub v. Cherne Indus. , 583 Pa. 608, 880 A.2d 561 (2005), a case not considered by the Superior Court?
b. Does the Superior Court’s decision to excuse Giant Eagle’s
failures to object to flawed jury instructions, flawed verdict slip and/or a problematic verdict, merely because the appeal is styled as a “challenge to the weight of the evidence,” conflict with the timely objection requirement of Dilliplaine v.
Lehigh Valley Trust Co. , 457 Pa. 255, 322 A.2d 114 (1974)?
