Adopted June 27, 1969, effective Jan. 1, 1970. Amended Oct. 4, 1973, effective Dec. 1, 1973; Nov. 14, 1978, effective Dec. 2,
1978; Dec. 14, 1979, effective Feb. 1, 1980; June 20, 1985, effective Jan. 1, 1986; April 1, 1996, effective July 1, 1996; Sept. 28,
2004, imd. effective.
Explanatory Comment -1979
Amendment to Rule 2959(a). The Act of March 27, 1945, P.L. 83, as amended, 12 P.S. §§913, 914 provided that if a
confessed judgment is transferred to another county or if a writ of execution upon it is direct4ed to another county, the defendant
has the option to petition to open either in the county where the judgment was originally entered or in the county to which it was
transferred or to which the execution was directed.
This Act is repealed by JARA. Subdivision (a) of Rule 2950 has been amended to continue the procedure. The scope of
the repealed Act is enlarged by granting optional venue in the case of a petition to strike the judgment as well as petitions to open.
This consisted with subdivision (a) of Rule 2959 which requires all grounds for relief, whether to open or to strike, to be
raised at one time. To prevent bifurcation of the proceedings, the optional venue must be extended to both forms of relief.
A petition to strike must assert defects appearing on the record. If the judgment debtor should seek to strike the
judgment in an outside county, examination of the record of the original confession may be essential. For this purpose, the
judgment debtor can, under the authority of Rule 3002(c), file in the outside county a certified copy of all or any part of the record,
testimony or exhibits in the original action.
New Rule 2959(1). An order of court opening a judgment does not impair the lien of the judgment or of any execution
issued on it, although the court may stay the execution pending final disposition of the proceeding. 7 Stand.Pa.Prac. 172, 174 §§
138, 142. To the contrary an order of court striking a judgment annuls the lien of the judgment or of any execution issued on it. 7
Stand.Pa.Prac. 244 §§ 223, 224.
However, the mere filing of a petition to open or strike a judgment does not affect the lien of the judgment or of any
execution, subject, of course, to the power of the court to stay execution pending decision on the petition. Subdivision (f) has been
added to Rule 2959 to restate this principal.
EXHIBIT "B"
1 Subd. (g)added by Order of Sept. 28, 2004, imd. effective.
r
Section 1722(b) of the Judicial Code authorizes the Supreme Court to promulgate general rules on the subject of liens
and their extent where not already governed by Act of Assembly. In the absence of such general rules, present practice shall
continue.
The rarely used Act of July 9, 1897, P.L. 237, 12 P.S. § 911, created a special remedy under which a creditor of a
judgment debtor might attack a judgment confessed by that debtor in favor of another creditor on a sowing of invalidity or fraud, and
the filing of a bond to protect the judgment plaintiff. The Act preserved the lien of any levy which had been made pending
termination of the proceedings. The Act was suspended in 1969 by Rule 2975(3) [rescinded] with respect to confessed judgments,
except insofar as it preserved the lien, and it has been repealed by JARA.
Explanatory Comment -1996
The rules of civil procedure governing confession of judgment for money have been revised in two major respects: the
abolition of confession of judgment in a consumer credit transaction and the imposition of a requirement of notice prior to or with
execution upon a confessed judgment.
* x x w w w
11. Notice
The provisions for notice are intended to aid the bench and bar in complying with Jordan v. Fox, Rothschild, O'Brien &
Frankel, 20 F.3d 1250 (C.A.3 1994). The significance of the opinion was stated by Judge R. Stanton Wettick, Jr. in S & T Bank v.
Coyne, No. GD 94-12141 (Allegheny County, August 11, 1994):
The Jordan opinion is significant only because the judgment creditor and its attorneys are now also subject to a § 1983
claim by a judgment debtor who did not waive its constitutional rights to notice and a hearing.
New rules have been promulgated to provide for notice to be served upon the defendant in most cases prior to or during
execution on a judgment entered by confession. There are three notices but only one need be given in a particular case.
Under new rule 2959(a)(3), a defendant must file a petition within thirty days of service of the notice to obtain relief from
the judgment or to prevent execution. After thirty days, the defendant is barred from relief unless there are "compelling reasons for
the delay".
? ? • w x
The intent of these rules is to limit the necessity for hearings on issues of due process and waiver by providing the
defendant with a pre-deprivation notice and opportunity for hearing on the merits. However, new Rule 2959(a)(2) specifies three
instances when the issue of the voluntary, intelligent and knowing waiver of due process rights may be raised. The first is in
support of a request for a stay when the court ha already denied a prior request for a stay despite timely filing of that request and
"the presentation of prima facie evidence of a defense". The second is when personal property has been levied upon or attached
without prior notice and hearing under new Rule 2958.2. The third is when a defendant in possession of leased residential real
property has been evicted without prior notice and hearing under new Rule 2973.3. In all other instances, the issues upon a petition
for relief from the judgment will be the merits and not the waiver of due process rights.
