Section 1019. Consideration of Statement of Objection by Court of Common Pleas

A. Upon consideration of the statement of objection, the court of common pleas shall take such action and make such orders as shall be just and proper.

B. The matters raised by the statement of objection shall be considered de novo by the court of common pleas.

Official Note

Consideration of the matters raised by the statement of objection will be de novo and the court is given broad latitude and discretion in disposing of these matters. Although the proceedings are de novo, this will not excuse failure to comply with whatever time limitations are imposed (see Rules 408C, 413, 416C, 420C, and 519.1) for raising before the magisterial district judge the matters now before the court of common pleas.

The provisions of this Rule 1019 amended December 20, 2013, effective February 20, 2014, 44 Pa.B. 14. Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (334179) to (334180).
