1990As our Supreme Court stated in In re the Upset Sale of Properties, 522 Pa. 230, 232 , 560 A.2d 1388, 1389 (1989), “Defense of governmental immunity is an absolute defense ... and is not waivable, nor is it subject to any procedural device that could render a governmental agency liable beyond the exceptions granted by the legislature.” For the foregoing reasons, we find that the trial court erred when it denied DER’s motion for judgment n.o.v. *534 since the trial court erred as a matter of law in denying DER’s defense of sovereign immunity.
