In the case of
Mueller v. 20th Century Glove Corp., No. 11901-2016 (C.P. Erie. Co. 2018 Domitrovich, J.), the court allowed, over the objections of various Defendants, a Plaintiff's attorney to use a deposition of a Plaintiff at trial where the Plaintiff had died during the litigation. In so ruling the court noted that the defense counsel had an opportunity during the deposition to cross-examine the Plaintiff.
The case provides a nice overview of hearsay rules and Pa.R.C.P. 4020 pertaining to the use of depositions at trial.
