1992As was stated in Hale v. Uhl, 293 Pa. 454, 458 , 143 A. 115, 116 (1928), “If for such unsubstantial reasons a salutory rule of court could be set at naught, it would be useless, and a defendant would be unable to protect himself from intolerable delays.” If counsel’s explanation or excuse for his mistake, oversight, or neglect, is reasonable, then the second criteria for opening a non pros will be met and the non pros may be vacated.
