234 Pa. Code r. 134 - Objections to Venue
(A) Objections
to venue between magisterial districts shall be raised in the court of common
pleas of the judicial district in which the proceeding has been brought, before
completion of the preliminary hearing in a court case or before completion of
the summary trial when a summary offense is charged, or such objections shall
be deemed to have been waived.
(B)
No objection to venue between magisterial districts shall be allowed unless
substantial prejudice will result if the proceeding is allowed to continue
before the issuing authority before whom it has been brought.
(C) No criminal proceedings shall be
dismissed because of improper venue between magisterial districts. Whenever an
objection to such venue is allowed, the court of common pleas shall order the
transfer of the proceeding to the issuing authority of the proper magisterial
district.
