5720 - Service of copy of order and application before disclosure of intercepted communication in trial, hearing or proceeding.

     § 5720.  Service of copy of order and application before
                disclosure of intercepted communication in trial,
                hearing or proceeding.
        The contents of any wire, electronic or oral communication
     intercepted in accordance with the provisions of this
     subchapter, or evidence derived therefrom, shall not be
     disclosed in any trial, hearing, or other adversary proceeding
     before any court of the Commonwealth unless, not less than ten
     days before the trial, hearing or proceeding the parties to the
     action have been served with a copy of the order, the
     accompanying application and the final report under which the
     interception was authorized or, in the case of an interception
     under section 5704 (relating to exceptions to prohibition of
     interception and disclosure of communications), notice of the
     fact and nature of the interception. The service of inventory,
     order, application, and final report required by this section
     may be waived by the court only where it finds that the service
     is not feasible and that the parties will not be prejudiced by
     the failure to make the service.
