231 Pa. Code § r. 1706 app. A
Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 49, December 7, 2024
In all class actions, including actions in trespass, all the averments of fact under the "class action allegations" will be deemed admitted unless specifically denied in conformity with Rule 1029. The special defense pleading rules in trespass will apply to all the substantive provisions of the complaint, but will not apply to the class action allegations. They must always be answered or they will be admitted.
Contrary to the Federal rule, a general denial is insufficient, nor is a denial sufficient if made in "haec verba". The assumpsit form of specific denial is required.
