Pennsylvania Civil Action Law (Discontinuance Certificate) is a legal document used to discontinue a civil action in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is used to formally terminate a civil action before a court has issued a judgement. The Discontinuance Certificate is typically issued by the court clerk or the plaintiff's attorney. It must be signed by the plaintiff and approved by the court. There are two types of Discontinuance Certificates: (1) a Voluntary Discontinuance Certificate, which is issued when the parties agree to discontinue the action; and (2) a Non-Voluntary Discontinuance Certificate, which is issued when the court orders a discontinuance. The Discontinuance Certificate is an important document in Pennsylvania civil litigation as it serves to officially end the action and prevent the parties from re-filing the same action.
