Superior Court of Pennsylvania March 19, 1964, Appeal, No. 410 (Strauss v. Weinstein)

Opinion by

Flood, J.,

The plaintiff in August, 1960, entered judgment by confession in an amicable action for the rent due for the balance of the term of a five-year lease executed in 1956. The court made absolute a rule to open the judgment upon the defendant’s allegation of an oral novation in December, 1958, discharging him from any further liability under the lease.
