Chester Cnty. C.P. Court of Common Pleas Civil Rules Rule 208.2(e)

i. All counsel have an affirmative obligation to confer and discuss discovery matters and make a good faith effort to resolve such

differences as may exist.

ii. Any motion or petition relating to discovery must be accompanied by a certificate of counsel for the moving party certifying that

counsel has conferred with opposing counsel with respect to each matter set forth in the discovery motion or petition in good

faith, but has been unable to resolve the issue. The certificate shall set forth the exact time, place and manner (which may be

telephonic) of the conference or, in a case in which counsel for the moving party cannot furnish such certificate, counsel shall

furnish an alternative certificate stating that opposing counsel has refused to so confer. The alternative certificate shall also set

forth the efforts made by counsel for the moving party to obtain compliance by opposing counsel and such other facts and

circumstances as exist to justify the absence of the required certificate.

iii. The court at its discretion may strike, dismiss or deny the petition or motion for failure of the moving party to comply with the

certification requirements of this rule, or may grant relief based solely upon the unreasonable refusal of opposing counsel t o

confer despite reasonable and good faith efforts of the moving party to comply with the certification requirements of this rule

or may grant relief based solely upon the unreasonable refusal of opposing counsel to confer despite reasonable and good faith

efforts of moving counsel to arrange such conference.
