§ 67.55. Reporting of Opinions; Certain Decisions not to be Cited.

 Unreported opinions of this court shall not be cited in any opinion of this court or in any brief or argument addressed to it, except that such unreported opinion may be relied upon or cited when it is relevant under the doctrine of law of the case, res judicata or collateral estoppel. When an unreported memorandum opinion is relied upon pursuant to this rule, a copy of the memorandum must be attached to the brief. A single-judge opinion, even if reported, shall be cited only for its persuasive value, not as a binding precedent. This rule shall be effective retroactively, so as to apply to opinions filed before the effective date of this section, as well as to opinions filed in the future.

   The provisions of this §  67.55 amended April 8, 1994, effective April 9, 1994, 24 Pa.B. 1833; amended March 16, 2001, effective March 17, 2001, 31 Pa.B. 1458; amended July 14, 2006, effective July 15, 2006, 36 Pa.B. 3646. Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (297547) to (297548).
