In his recent decision in the case of Arvonio v. PNC Wealth Management, No. 11 - CV - 478 (C.P. Lacka. Co. Dec. 20, 2013 Nealon, J.), Judge Terrence R. Nealon of the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas reviewed the parameters of a proper protective order requested under Pa.R.C.P. 4012 with respect to depositions.

In applying Pa.R.C.P. 4012 in Arvonio, the court took a middle road and allowed the depositions to go forward but limited scope of the deposition to certain pertinent issues that were at the forefront of the current status of this case.
