Rule 371. Objection to Consent Decree.

 When the juvenile or the attorney for the Commonwealth objects to a consent decree, the court shall proceed to findings, adjudication, and disposition.

Comment

   A consent decree may not be used unless the attorney for the Commonwealth consents and the juvenile agrees to accept the conditions required by the court. If the attorney for the Commonwealth objects to a consent decree or the juvenile refuses to accept the conditions required by the court, the court is to proceed to findings, adjudication, and disposition. In re Bosket, 590 A.2d 774 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1991). See also 42 Pa.C.S. §  6340(b).

   See Rule 401 for the findings that are to be made in the juvenile delinquency process.
