Section 2186. Service and Filing of Reproduced Record

(a) General rule.—The reproduced record shall be served and filed not later than:

(1) the date of service of the brief; or

(2) 21 days from the date of service of the appellee’s brief in advance form, if the record is being reproduced pursuant to Rule 2154(b) (large records).

Reproduced records shall be deemed filed on the date of mailing if first class, express, or priority United States Postal Service mail is utilized.

(b) Supplemental reproduced record.—Any supplemental reproduced record shall be served and filed with the brief of the appellee.

Official Note

Former Supreme Court Rule 57, former Superior Court Rule 47 and former Commonwealth Court Rule 32A provided that the appellant was to serve and file the reproduced record with his brief, which continues to be the rule under Paragraph (a)(1) of this rule. The delayed filing of the reproduced record results in the designation and reproduction of the minimum amount of the original record since the parties will then know exactly the portions of the original record mentioned in their briefs and may accordingly limit the amount of record reproduced.

The provisions of this Rule 2186 amended May 16, 1979, effective September 30, 1979, 9 Pa.B. 1740; amended July 7, 1997, effective in 60 days, 27 Pa.B. 3503; amended September 10, 2008, effective December 1, 2008, 38 Pa.B. 5257. Immediately preceding text appears at serial page (328878).
