In Jordan v. Western Pennsylvania Hospital, 961 A.2d 220, 2008 WL 4831303 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2008), the Court applied Shaffer-Doan to vacate a trial court's order that denied the Department's request to intervene in a case. Jordan, 961 A.2d at 221, 2008 WL 4831303, at 1. In doing so, the Court noted that the trial court erred in not considering the merits of the Department's intervention petition and remanded the matter for the trial court to consider the merits, particularly in light of our Shaffer-Doan decision.
