Rule 323. Judgment—Payment in Installments.

The magisterial district judge may in the entry of judgment order the payment of the same in periodic installments that shall not extend beyond 12 months from the date of judgment.

   Official Note
   Since many of the defendants coming before magisterial district judges are apt to be in financial difficulties, it was thought advisable to provide for payment in installments. The payments are to be made to the plaintiff and not to the magisterial district judge. See Rule 3.10 of the Rules Governing Standards of Conduct of Magisterial District Judges.
