Rule 2348.Acts of Assembly not suspended.

The intervention rules do not suspend or affect two Acts of Assembly. The first is Section 1 of the Act approved June 23, 1931, P. L. 1181, No. 321, 8 P. S. § 146, which the Official Note says relates to the right to intervene in an action on a contractor’s bond. The second is Section 4 of the Act approved December 20, 1983, P. L. 260, No. 72, 63 P. S. § 1604, which relates to the rights of claimants to intervene in a suit on the bond of a public adjuster or public adjuster solicitor.

Those statutes address intervention in particular bond suits, and this rule keeps them working alongside the general grounds for intervention in Rule 2327. Rule 2350 does the opposite for one statute, suspending a section of a 1923 Act insofar as it relates to intervention in proceedings to enforce municipal claims and tax liens. The rule was amended effective July 1, 1994.
