Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court.

ORDER
PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 23rd day of May, 2011, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as phrased by petitioners, are:

1. Did the Superior Court err in its determination that the assertion of highly reckless conduct is an affirmative defense contrary to prior decisions of this Court and of the Superior Court which classify such assertion as a denial of causation?
2. Did the Superior Court err in its determination to expand the requirements for proof of highly reckless conduct in contravention of prior decisions of that same [c]ourt?
