Chester Cnty. C.P. Court of Common Pleas Civil Rules Rule 241

(a) Affidavit. The affidavit of the party or other person to the correctness of the bill of costs and the attendance and materiality of

the witnesses shall be annexed and shall be prima facie evidence to the taxing officer.

(b) Taxation. The bill of costs shall be taxed, in the first instance, by the prothonotary upon application of a party. The moving party

shall “provide the adverse party with a copy of the bill within ten (10) days after filing. Exceptions shall be filed within ten (10)

days of the receipt of such copy. A re-taxation shall then be had before the prothonotary upon ten (10) days notice thereof to

both parties. The prothonotary shall give written notice of the re-taxation to both parties, from which either party may appeal

to the court within five (5) days thereafter, provided that the appellant shall, within three (3) days after the appeal is entered,

file a specification of the items to which he objects and the grounds of his objections; otherwise the appeal will be dismissed.

No exceptions or appeal shall operate to stay execution or prevent the collection of the debt of costs, but when collected on

execution or paid into court, the items to which exceptions have been taken will be retained until the question is decided.

(c) Counsel Fees. When counsel fees are sought under the provision of 42 Pa.C.S. §2503 as part of the taxable costs of a matter, the

party seeking them shall do so by filing an appropriate petition within twenty (20) days of the conclusion of the case in this

court. The proceedings shall be conducted under Pa.R.C.P. No. 209 and C.C.R.C.P. 206.1.
