A Pennsylvania Writ of Revival is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Pennsylvania that is used to revive an existing cause of action or lawsuit that was previously dismissed for various reasons. The Writ of Revival is typically filed when the plaintiff wishes to appeal the dismissal of their claim. The Writ of Revival is usually used when the original lawsuit was dismissed due to a technicality, such as an expired statute of limitations or failure to follow the proper procedural rules. There are three types of Pennsylvania Writ of Revival: Writ of Error to Revive, Writ of Score Facial to Revive, and Writ of Revival of Judgment. The Writ of Error to Revive is typically used when the lawsuit was dismissed due to an error or technicality by the court. The Writ of Score Facial to Revive is used when the lawsuit was dismissed due to an expired statute of limitations or an act of fraud. The Writ of Revival of Judgment is used when the lawsuit was dismissed due to a failure to comply with the procedural rules.
