Except where the Commonwealth or a subdivision is liable for the costs, the Court Reporter shall require a deposit of one-half the estimated charge for the transcript as a condition precedent to starting transcription.
After ascertaining from the Court Reporter the amount required, the said deposit shall be paid to the Prothonotary by the party requesting the transcript.
After obtaining a receipt from the Prothonotary signifying said deposit has been made, the person making said deposit shall deliver a copy of said receipt to the Court Reporter who will then proceed with the transcript, as requested, in the manner provided pursuant to Pa.R.J.A. No. 5000 et seq.
When the transcript is completed, the Court Reporter shall notify the party requesting the same.
The completed transcript shall be delivered by the Court Reporter to the office of the Prothonotary. The transcript shall be held by the Prothonotary in a transcript escrow file and shall not be delivered to the party ordering the transcript until any balance due for the transcript has been paid to the Prothonotary. The original transcript may then be filed of record and copies thereof released to requesting parties.
All transcript payments shall be remitted by the Prothonotary to the County of Beaver. When the Court Reporter has submitted the completed transcript, the Court Reporter may then bill the County of Beaver for payment for said transcripts. The County of Beaver shall then pay the same pursuant to its present practice.
