context: In this case, no explanation or reason was given by the trial court as to its justification for the entry of the final judgment for Peco, aside from the formulaic recitation of "no just reason for delay." This failure by the trial court to include a reasoned explanation makes any review by this Court, as to whether there was an abuse of discretion in the entry of the Rule 54(b) judgment, merely speculative.
