Toppy v. Passage Bio, 2022 Pa. Super. LEXIS 446 (November 9, 2022) (Stabile, J.) In this employment dispute, Appellant, Eric Toppy, filed a five-count complaint against Appellee, Passage Bio, Inc., alleging that Appellee breached a settlement agreement that resolved Appellant’s wrongful termination claims against Appellee. Appellee filed preliminary objections in the nature of demurrers asserting, inter alia, that the parties never entered a binding settlement agreement. The trial court sustained Appellee’s preliminary objections and dismissed the complaint with prejudice. Appellant appeals from the order of dismissal. We affirm in part and reverse in part. We reverse the dismissal of Appellant’s claims for breach of the settlement agreement and violation of the Wage Payment Collection Law (“WPCL”). 43 P.S. 260.1-260.13. We affirm the dismissal of Appellant’s claims for unjust enrichment, fraudulent misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation.
