Pennsylvania Notice and Order Setting Hearing On An Expedited Basis is a document used by the Pennsylvania courts to set a hearing date on an expedited basis. This document is usually issued in emergency situations or when there is an urgent need to resolve a legal dispute. It is typically used in family law cases when a judge needs to make a decision quickly. There are two types of Pennsylvania Notice and Order Setting Hearing On An Expedited Basis: 1) an Order To Show Cause and 2) a Request To Show Cause. An Order To Show Cause is used when the court orders the parties involved to appear at a hearing to present their arguments or respond to a certain issue. The Request To Show Cause is used when the court requires one of the parties involved to appear at a hearing and explain why a certain action has not been taken. This document is used to ensure that the parties involved are heard in a timely fashion and that the court is able to make a ruling on the issue at hand.
