Rule 2103. Venue

    (a) An action brought in a court of common pleas by the Commonwealth may be brought in any county permitted by a rule of the Supreme Court.

    (b) Except when the Commonwealth is the plaintiff or when otherwise provided by an Act of Assembly, an action against a political subdivision may be brought only in the county in which the political subdivision is located.

    Note: For the venue of actions in mandamus and quo warranto, see Rules 1092 and 1112.

    This rule does not alter the practice where the political subdivision is located in more than one county or in actions for materials furnished for construction of inter-county bridges. See Rule 2123, Acts of Assembly Not Suspended.
