Bucks Cnty. C.P. Rule 936
Bucks County local rules: Rule 936
Rule *936 Security for Costs; Non-residence or Insolvency of Plaintiff
In cases where the plaintiff resides out of the State at the time suit is brought, or
subsequently moves therefrom, and in cases where proceedings in bankruptcy or
insolvency are pending against the plaintiff, the defendant, on filing an answer in
actions in which an answer is required, and in other actions on filing an affidavit of
a just defense to the whole of plaintiff's demand, may enter a rule for security for
costs. A garnishee in attachment execution may, in like cases, enter a rule for
security for garnishee's costs, after interrogatories and before answers are filed. In
default of security entered at the time fixed by the Court, judgment of non pros
may be entered by the prothonotary in favor of the defendant, or the attachment
quashed in appropriate cases.
