Leh. Cnty. Pa. 1901
This Rule implements Pa.R.J.A. No. 1901 for Criminal Cases in Lehigh County. Former L.C. 532(b)(1) was not given a new criminal number in Administrative Order 174 - M - 1987 (17 Pa.B.3406), when the Criminal Rules were renumbered and spun off from the Civil Rules, nor was it included in Civil 239 adopted on July 20, 1990, File No. 90- J-4, 20 Pa.B. 4176 et seq.(August 14, 1990). The Rule subsequently was contained in an Administrative Order adopted August 29, 1990, File No. 381-M-1990, 20 Pa.B. 4953 (September 29, 1990).
