246 Pa. Code Rule 1210. Duration of Emergency Protection Orders.

Rule 1210. Duration of Emergency Protection Orders.

 Protection orders issued under Rule 1208 shall expire at the end of the next business day the court deems itself available.

   Official Note

   This rule is derived from Section 6110(b) of the Protection From Abuse Act, 23 Pa.C.S. §  6110(b), as well as 42 Pa.C.S. §  62A09(b). Practice varies among the judicial districts as to what procedures the plaintiff must follow to continue in effect a protection order in the court of common pleas upon the certification of an emergency protection order to the court of common pleas. The hearing officer should provide clear instructions to the plaintiff as to what must be done to continue in effect the protection order in the court of common pleas. See Rule 1206 and Note, and Rule 1211 and Note.
