Pennsylvania Code (Last Updated: April 5, 2016) |
Title 246. MINOR COURT CIVIL RULES |
PART I. GENERAL |
Chapter 300. CIVIL ACTION |
Section 316. Amendment to Complaint
Latest version.
-
Amendments to the complaint may be made only at the hearing in the presence of the adverse party or his representative. Amendments other than those made as to form shall constitute grounds for continuance.
Official Note
It was felt that the usual notice requirements involved with respect to amendments made prior to the hearing are too difficult and burdensome to be made applicable to magisterial district court proceedings. Consequently, this rule forbids amendments other than those made at the hearing in the presence of the adverse party.
