Rule 512. Joint Appeals.

 Parties interested jointly, severally or otherwise in any order in the same matter or in joint matters or in matters consolidated for the purposes of trial or argument, may join as appellants or be joined as appellees in a single appeal where the grounds for appeal are similar, or any one or more of them may appeal separately or any two or more may join in an appeal.

   Official Note

   Substantially the same as former Supreme Court Rule 20 (prior to its omission by the revision and renumbering order of April 27, 1972), former Superior Court Rule 9A, and former Commonwealth Court Rule 26. The rule continues the policy that ‘‘taking one appeal from several judgments is not acceptable practice and is discouraged.’’ General Electric Credit Corp. v. Aetna Casualty and Surety Co., 437 Pa. 463, 469, 263 A.2d 448, 452 (1970).
