475. A judgment in which there is an error in writing or calculation or any other clerical error may be corrected by the judge or prothonotary who rendered it. A judgment which, by obvious inadvertence, has granted more than was demanded or has omitted to adjudicate upon part of the demand may also be so corrected.
Such correction may be made of the judge’s or prothonotary’s own motion so long as the execution has not been commenced; it may be made on motion of one of the parties at any time, unless the judgment has been appealed.
If the judge or prothonotary who rendered the judgment is no longer in office or is absent or unable to act, the motion must be made to the court.
The delays for appeal from and for execution of a corrected judgment only run from the date of the correction, if it affects the conclusions.
