Rule 316. Amendment to Complaint.

 Amendments to the complaint may be made only at the hearing in the presence of the adverse party or his representative. Amendments other than those made as to form shall constitute grounds for continuance.

   Official Note

   It was felt that the usual notice requirements involved with respect to amendments made prior to the hearing are too difficult and burdensome to be made applicable to magisterial district court proceedings. Consequently, this rule forbids amendments other than those made at the hearing in the presence of the adverse party.
