Pa. O.C. Rule 1. Judges - Local Rules
___Any judge of an Orphans'
Court Division, whether or not it consists of more than one judge,
may hear and determine all matters jurisdiction of which is exercised
through the Orphans' Court Division.
[Supreme Court Committee Comment: This is the same as the first
sentence of Section 731 of the
Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code. The Judiciary Act Repealer
Act repeals Section 731 effective June 27, 1980. This addition
to the Supreme Court Rules is intended to clarify the situation
as it will exist after June 27, 1980.]
[Adopted April 26, 1979, effective August 1, 1979.]
___The Orphans' Courts of the
several judicial districts of this Commonwealth may adopt local
rules regulating practice and procedure, but such rules shall
not be inconsistent with any rule adopted by the Supreme Court
of this Commonwealth or any Act of Assembly regulating the practice
and procedure in the Orphans' Courts of this Commonwealth.
[Supreme Court Committee Comment: This is substantially identical
to what
formerly was Rule 1. before the addition of Rule 1.1.]
[Renumbered and amended April 26, 1979, effective August 1, 1979.]
