activein force · 2026-09-30 – presentact-effective-date

If a witness is unavailable at the time of trial, as defined in Pa.R.C.P. 4017 and 4020, the

court expects an oral or videotaped deposition to be used at trial for that witness, whether

the witness is a party, a non-party, or an expert. The unavailability of such witness will

not be a ground to delay the commencement or progress of trial.
