In Local No. 163 v. Watkins, 417 Pa. 120, 207 A.2d 776 (1965), the lower court granted preliminary objections and gave the plaintiff leave to file a more specific complaint within 20 days. The plaintiff allowed the 20-day amendment period to lapse and appealed, asserting that it could not devise a more specific pleading. Again, our Supreme Court allowed an appeal from the trial court's order reasoning that "in these circumstances, the lower court would have no alternative to entering a judgment against plaintiff." Id. at 122, 207 A.2d at 778.
