Section 2546. Transmission of Papers to and Action by the Court

(a) Transmission of papers.—Upon receipt of the application for reargument and any answers in opposition, such papers shall be distributed by the prothonotary to the court for its consideration.

(b) Action by court.—If an application for reargument is granted, the court may restore the matter to the calendar for reargument, make final disposition of the matter without further oral argument or take such other action as may be deemed appropriate under the circumstances of the particular case. Reargument may be allowed limited to one or more of the issues presented in the application, in which case the order allowing the reargument shall specify the issue or issues which will be considered by the court.
