Bucks Cnty. C.P. Rule 227.3 (a-d)

Rule 227.3*(a)-*(d) Payment for Transcript

*(a)The party requesting a transcript of the records or any portion thereof in a

motion for post-trial relief shall pay the cost thereof. Where any other party files

an objection requesting that an additional portion of the record be transcribed, the

trial judge, in the absence of agreement by the parties, shall in his/her discretion

and to the extent this matter is not covered in the Pennsylvania Rules of Judicial

Administration 4001 et seq., assign the cost of such additional transcribing to any

or all parties or to the County.

*(b) The designation of the portion of the record to be transcribed required by

Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 227.3 shall include the date the trial started

and the courtroom where the trial was held. A copy of this designation shall be

submitted contemporaneously with the filing of the motion for post-trial relief to

the court reporter or reporters who took the notes in designation.

*(c) The party requesting the transcribing of the record or any part thereof shall

pay a deposit in accordance with Bucks County Rule of Judicial Administration

4007(C), and certify that the same has been paid upon the designation notice

aforesaid. Failure to pay the transcript deposit and to so certify on the designation

notice may be a basis for refusal of the motions or dismissal of the exceptions for

lack of a transcript.

*(d) The official court reporter shall transcribe and file the stenographic transcript

of the trial and furnish copies thereof to the parties at the cost of the County only

when ordered to do so specially in each particular case by the trial judge, either by

direction dictated upon the stenographic record of the trial, by endorsement on the

filed motion aforesaid or by separate written order. If the trial judge shall refuse to

enter such order upon request, any party aggrieved thereby may request the

President Judge to designate two other judges of this Court to constitute, with the

trial judge, a Court en banc for the limited purpose of review of such refusal. The

decision of the majority of the judges constituting such Court en banc shall be final

on the question.
