RULE 227.1. MOTIONS AFTER TRIAL

(1) Copies of post-trial motions in civil cases shall be filed with the

Prothonotary, delivered to the trial judge, and served upon all adverse

parties. Upon order of court, the court stenographer shall transcribe the

record.

(2) Reasons for a new trial based on after-discovered evidence must be

supported by a written affidavit by the party or his attorney containing the

names of the witnesses, the substance of their expected testimony, the

affiant’s belief of its sufficiency to change the verdict, and an explanation

why the testimony was not produced at the trial.

(3) The trial judge shall determine whether post-verdict motions shall be

argued before himself alone or before a panel sitting as a court en banc.

Whenever the trial judge hears the motion alone, he may make any ruling

that could be made by a court en banc.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
