IN GENERAL
Rule 1601. Scope of Chapter.
This chapter provides a petition procedure for appellate review of certain discrete issues. Generally, these matters are ancillary and/or preliminary to appellate review under Chapters 9, 11, 13, or 15, but the chapter also is intended to provide the method for initiating any otherwise-authorized form of appellate review that does not fall within those chapters.
The procedure applicable under this chapter is provided in Pa.R.A.P. 1602—1605, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or rule relating to a particular category of petition for specialized review.
Official Note
Judicial review of government unit actions or inactions not otherwise permitted under Chapters 9, 11, 13 or 15, including those enumerated in Pa.R.A.P. 1601, is available under Chapter 16 to the extent delineated in its provisions. The document that initiates the case under Chapter 16 is called a petition for specialized review. The ‘‘residuary’’ initiating document function previously assigned to Chapter 15 is now assigned to Chapter 16.
