Rule 227. Exceptions

    (a) It shall not be necessary on the trial of any action or proceeding to take exception to any ruling of the trial judge. An exception in favor of the party against whom the adverse ruling was made shall be deemed to have been taken with the same force and effect as if it had been requested, noted by the official stenographer and thereafter written out, signed and sealed by the trial judge.

    Note: This Subdivision suspends Section 1 of the Act approved May 11, 1911, P.L. 279, as amended 12 P.S. § 1196 [repealed].

    (b) Unless specially allowed by the court, all exceptions to the charge to the jury shall be taken before the jury retires. On request of any party all such exceptions and arguments thereon shall be made out of hearing of the jury.

    Note: This Subdivision suspends Section 2 of the Act approved May 11, 1911, P.L. 279, as amended, 12 P.S. § 1197 [repealed], only insofar as it requires exceptions to be filed before the jury retires.
