I he Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has promulgated new Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 governing the termination of
inactive erases and amended Rule of Judicial Administration 1901. Two aspects o1~ the recommendation merit
comment,
1. Rrrle o/ ririi P'roc~dure
New Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 has been promulgated to govern the termination of inactive cases within the
scope of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. The termination of~ these cases for inactivity wa<, previously
governed by Rule of Judicial Administration 1901 and local rules promulgated pursuant to i[. New Ru4e 2,0? is
tailored to the needs of civil actions. It provides a complete procedure and a uniform statewide practice. preempting
local rules.
-This rule was promulgated in response to the decision of the Supreme Court in Shop ~~. ~;agle. X51 Pa.d~0.710 A.2d
1 104 f 199k~) in which the court held that "prejudice to the defendant as a result of delay in prosecution is required
hcfore a case may he dismissed pursuant to local rules implementing Rule of Judicial Administratio^ 1901."'
Rolf: of,ludicial Administration 1901(b) has been amended to accommodate the new rule of civil procedure. The
general policy of~the prompt disposition of matters set forth in subdivision (a) 01 that rule continues to he ap~~licablc,
f1 Mactire (,ase.r
The purpose of Rule 230.2 is to eliminate inactive cases from the judicial system. The process is initiated by the
court. After giving notice of intent to terminate an action for inactivity. the course of the procedure is with die parties.
if the panes do not wish to pursue the case. they will take no action and "the Prothonotary shall enter an order as of
course terminating the matter with prejudice for failure to prosecutc.° if a party wishes to pursue the matter. he or she
~+i 11 file a notice of intention to proceed and the action shall continue.
a. Gf~'lrere Ih~~ action has been terminated
If the action is terminated when a party believes that it should not have been terminated. that pan may proceed
under Ru(e?_30id1 for relief from the order oftermination. An example oi~such an occurrence might be the terminatio^
of a viable ~rction when the aggrieved party did not receive the notice of intent to terminate and daus did not timely file
the notice of intention to proceed.
i~he timing of the filing of the petition to reinstate the action is important. ffthe petition is filed within thin} day; of
the entry of the order oftermination nn the docket subdivision (d)(2) provides that the court must grant the petition and
reinstate the action. If the petition is filed later than the thirty-day period, subdivision (dl(3) requires that the phaintiff
must make a showing to the court that the petition was promptly tiled and that there is a reasonable extrlanation or
legitimate excuse both for the failure to file the notice of intention to proceed prior to the entry of thr. order of
rermina~ion on the docket and for the failure to lile the petition within [he thim~-day period under subdivision I d)(2l.
E3. [There !he' action has no! been terr:rinated
1n action which has not been terminated but which continues upon the filing of a notice of intention to proceed may
have been the su'b.ject of inordinate delay. In such an instance, the aggrieved party may pursue the rcmcd~ of a
common la~~ non pros which exits independently oftermination under Rule ?30.2.
