Rule 205. [Rescinded].

Explanatory Note

Rule 205 provided that the Code of Professional Responsibility of the American Bar Association, adopted August 12, 1969 and amended February 24, 1970, was the standard of conduct for attorneys of all courts of the Commonwealth. The Committee has long felt that such a rule was properly a rule of disciplinary enforcement rather than one of civil procedure.

On June 28, 1976, the Court promulgated the Pennsylvania Rules of Disciplinary Enforcement which will become effective on October 27, of this year. The Definition of Disciplinary Rules as provided by Rule of Disciplinary Enforcement 102 incorporated the same Code of Professional Responsibility as that specified in Rule of Civil Procedure 205. In view of the duplication of the rules, the rescission was appropriate.
