Bucks Cnty. C.P. Rule 285:
Bucks County local rules: Rule 285:
Rule *285 Legal Periodical; Service By Publication
(a) Except as otherwise provided by Act of Assembly, rule or special order of
Court, service by publication shall be made by publication once in the Bucks
County Law Reporter and in one newspaper of general circulation within the
county, meeting the requirements of law, in such manner that the person so served
shall have at least five days after the publication thereof to act thereon.
(b) The Bucks County Law Reporter shall be the legal periodical for the publishing
of legal advertisements required by law, rule or order of the Court. Every notice of
advertisement required by law, rule or order of Court to be published in one or
more newspapers published in the County of Bucks, unless dispensed with by
special order of Court, shall also be published in the Bucks County Law Reporter.
Whenever any notice including advertisements of judicial sales, writs, rules or
orders whatever, shall be required by law, rule or order of the Court to be
published in any newspaper in addition to the legal periodical, such additional
publication shall be made in the newspaper or newspapers designated by the Court,
by general rule or such special order as from time to time may be made. In all
cases where no designation shall have been made or provided for by general rule or
order of court, the plaintiff in the action, or party procuring the rule or order, or his
attorney of record, may endorse upon his praecipe, petition or motion the
additional newspaper or newspapers in which he desires the notice or
advertisement to be inserted; whereupon, a special order designating the newspaper
or newspapers named shall issue as of course; provided that unless cause be
shown, only newspapers of general circulation within the county and meeting the
requirements of law shall be so designated. The defendant or other party to the
proceeding adversely affected, or other creditors, may apply to the Court, or a
judge in vacation, to change the additional newspaper or newspapers so selected
for publication upon cause shown. The designation of such additional newspaper
or newspapers made by the parties may be disregarded and the order changed by
the Court, or a judge in vacation, upon application, or of its own motion.
