Northumberland Cnty. C.P. Rule NCV-211 Oral Argument

Northumberland County

RULE NCV-211. ORAL ARGUEMENT

(1) In order to obtain a date and time for oral argument, a party shall file a

praecipe for argument with the Prothonotary, who shall forward to the

Court Administrator.

(2) Where the resolution of factual issues necessitates the taking of testimony

before the Court, such fact shall be noted on the praecipe.

(3) Upon written motion, continuance of the argument may be granted for

cause shown or upon agreement of the attorneys with approval of the

Court. The matter shall be scheduled on the next argument date unless

otherwise specified by the Court.

(4) Cases on the argument list ordinarily require oral arguments and briefs

unless the Court agrees to consider the case on briefs only. Briefs shall be in

accord with Rule NCV-210. Requests for “BRIEFS ONLY” listing shall be made

in writing with the Court Administrator.

(5) Failure to file briefs in accordance with the established deadlines may be

considered by the Court to be a withdrawal of the matter listed by the

moving party or the withdrawal of opposition thereto by the opposing party,

as the case may be, and the Court may make an appropriate order disposing

of the same.
