Pennsylvania Objections — Order to Show Cause is a legal document used in Pennsylvania state court proceedings. It is a way for a party in a civil or criminal lawsuit to challenge the court’s jurisdiction or the judge’s decision. The Order to Show Cause is a request for a hearing to explain why the court should not take certain action. It must be filed with the court and served on the opposing party before the hearing. There are two types of Pennsylvania Objections — Order to Show Cause: Rule to Show Cause and Petition to Show Cause. A Rule to Show Cause is used when a court has jurisdiction over the case and the party filing the objection is asking for the court to reconsider its ruling. A Petition to Show Cause is used when a party is asking the court to consider a matter outside its jurisdiction.
