N211.  Argument Lists, Requests for Findings and Conclusions

   (d)  Oral Argument--When each case is called, the parties shall state to the Court (1) whether briefs are filed and (2) whether any party requests oral argument on the matter before the Court. Cases on the argument list may be submitted on briefs, if all parties agree to waive oral argument. If all parties agree to submission on briefs, counsel need not appear for the call of the argument list; rather, counsel for the moving party shall provide written notice to the Court Administrator that all parties agree that the case may be submitted on the briefs.

N1308.  Appeal by Party not Present at Hearing

   If a party who was not present at a hearing before a Board of Arbitration appeals the decision of the Board of Arbitration, the non-appealing party may petition for reasonable counsel fees and expenses for the arbitration proceeding. The court may award said fees and expenses unless the absence was for good cause. An award of said fees and expenses shall be paid within thirty days of the order; in default thereof, the court may impose sanctions.

N4008.  Deposition by Oral Examination

   Unless leave of Court is obtained or all parties agree otherwise, and excerpting videotape depositions for use at trial, all depositions in cases filed with this Court shall be taken in Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
