Rule 1021*(e) Claim for Money Damages. Amount. Interest. Account. Exceptions
When in a civil action a judgment has been entered directing the defendant to account
to the plaintiff, the defendant shall, within thirty days (unless the Court shall for cause
shown allow a longer time) state the account and file the statement thereof in the
office of the prothonotary, giving notice forthwith to the attorney of record for
plaintiff, or, if none, to the plaintiff, that this has been done. Within thirty days after
such notification, the plaintiff, if dissatisfied with the statement of account filed by the
defendant, shall file exceptions thereto and move for the appointment of an auditor to
hear and report upon the questions of fact and law raised by the exceptions. If the
defendant shall for any reason fail to file a statement of account within thirty days, or
such longer period as the Court may fix, the court may, on motion of the plaintiff,
appoint an auditor to state the account between the parties upon the basis of such
evidence as may be submitted to him. The auditor shall give two weeks' notice in
writing to the parties or their attorneys of record of the time and place fixed for
hearing the matter, but notice thereof is not to be given by public advertisement.
When the auditor has prepared his report, notice that it is ready for filing shall be
given to the attorneys of record for the parties or, if none, to the parties. Exceptions
thereto must be filed with him within ten days after such notice has been received. If
exceptions are filed, the auditor shall, with his report as originally prepared, report
supplementally on the exceptions. When the auditor's report has been filed, the Court,
after hearing argument on the exceptions thereto, will enter such order or judgment as
to justice and right may appertain.
