Rule *105 - Approval of Sureties
(A) Sureties required at the commencement of actions shall be approved by the Office of Judicial Records subject to review by the Court. Two auditors shall be appointed each year, who at least once a year and more often, if in the opinion of the auditors the same be necessary, shall make a separate written report concerning the advisability of accepting each corporation as surety. This report of the auditors shall be based upon a thorough accounting study and analysis of the financial statements which the corporation shall furnish to the auditors. If in the opinion of the auditors an examination of any company at its home office is required, the auditors shall file a motion with the Court in which the application of the corporation was filed setting forth the reasons for the making of such examination, and requesting the Court's approval. A copy of such motion shall be served upon the corporation, which shall have the right to file an answer to the motion of the auditors, and otherwise to be heard. No examination shall be made by the auditors at the home office of the applicant surety company without approval of the Court in which the application for approval was filed.
(B) Qualifications of sureties for bail shall be governed by Rule 4007 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.
