A Pennsylvania Civil Court Application for a Continuance is a type of motion filed with the court by a party in a civil case. This motion requests that the court postpone or delay a scheduled court hearing or trial. There are two types of Continuance applications in Pennsylvania: an ex parte application and a joint application. An ex parte application is filed by one party only, while a joint application is filed by both parties. The applicant must provide the court with detailed information concerning the reasons why the continuance is necessary, including any relevant evidence or testimony. The court may grant or deny the motion based on its review of the facts presented.
