Section 323. Judgment— Payment in Installments

Latest version.

The magisterial district judge may in his entry of judgment order the payment of the same in periodic installments which shall not extend beyond twelve (12) months from the date of judgment.

Official Note
Since many of the defendants coming before magisterial district judges are apt to be in financial difficulties, it was thought advisable to provide for payment in installments. The payments are to be made to the plaintiff and not to the magisterial district judge. See Rule 13 of the Rules Governing Standards of Conduct of Magisterial District Judges.

The provisions of this Rule 323 amended December 16, 1983, effective December 1, 1983, 13 Pa.B. 3875; amended March 27, 1992, effective 90 days from the date on which the Order is signed, 22 Pa.B. 1893 and 1900. Immediately preceding text appears at serial page (152349).
