DEMURRER - FAILURE TO STATE A CAUSE OF ACTION 1. Plaintiff avers that in June of 1999, he purchased a vehicle from the Defendant and paid more than the sticker price. 2. Plaintiff avers that had he realized at the time that he was paying more than the sticker price, he would have not purchased the vehicle. 3. Plaintiff avers that Defendant was unjustly enriched because Plaintiff paid more than the sticker price for the vehicle. 4. Pennsylvania law does not provide a cause of action based upon the allegation that a buyer paid more than the sticker price for a vehicle. 5. Pennsylvania law does not provide a cause of action for unjust enrichment based upon the premise that a buyer paid more for the vehicle than the sticker price. 6. A review of Plaintiffs Exhibit "B", which he signed, evidences that as a matter of law, the document signed by Defendant did not create the likelihood of confusion or misunderstanding nor was it fraudulent upon its face. 7. A review of Plaintiffs Exhibit "B", which he signed, evidences that as a matter of law, the document is clear on its face. " ""~, ,.. ",'- ",-,', '''':''';'''-'';;')dj,i WHEREFORE, Defendant prays your Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint for failure to state a cause of action under the Consumer Protection Law, in fraud or unjust enrichment. II. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH PA. R.C.P. 1019(b\ 1. Plaintiffs Complaint asserts that the window sticker on the Ford Mustang Coupe he purchased, displayed the MSRP price of $18,580. (Plaintiffs Exhibit "A"). 2. Plaintiffs Complaint asserts that he paid $22,080 for the vehicle. (Plaintiffs Exhibit "8"). 3. Plaintiff asserts that "Defendant intentionally or negligently misled Plaintiff into paying $4,000 more than he agreed to in purchase of the car through means within the exclusive knowledge of the Defendant. (Complaint at 11 20) 4. Plaintiff asserts that he was induced into purchasing a vehicle for an amount greater than its sticker price, "as a direct and proximate result of Defendant's negligent or intentional fraud in the inducement..." (Complaint at 11 22). 5. Pa.R.C.P. 1019(b) mandates that averments of fraud or mistake must be averred with particularity. 6. Plaintiff has failed to plead the averments of fraud with particularity as he has not alleged the specific conduct of Defendant that was fraudulent. Rather, he asserts that the means of the fraud was "within the exclusive knowledge of the Defendant."

Plaintiff has generally pled that he was misled and did not understand the terms of the purchase, which pleadings are insufficient to satisfy a claim for fraud, under the Rule. WHEREFORE, Defendant prays your Honorable Court issue an Order requiring Plaintiff to comply with Pa. R.C.P 1 019(b), by specifically stating the conduct of the Defendant which was fraudulent. III. MOTION FOR A MORE SPECIFIC PLEADING 1. Plaintiff avers that the acts of the Defendant violated 73 P .s. 9 201- 2(4)(xxi), a section of the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. 2. The referenced section states: Engaging in any other fraudulent or deceptive conduct which creates a likelihood of confusion or of misunderstanding. 3. Plaintiff does not aver with any specificity the manner in which Defendant caused confusion or misunderstanding, especially as Exhibit "8", which Defendant signed, is clear on its face. 3. Defendant cannot respond to the Complaint without an understanding of the conduct which created a likelihood of confusion or misunderstanding, in light of the fact that Plaintiff's Exhibit "8" is does not do so. -3- .~- , ---- ',-'- - - --, ~"' '-"<,' I ,~ " ':-"~'-' ---<~.--F--',-'i,--_, ,o_'''J''"' ~,,,,___,';_'L,'o' ^",' WHEREFORE, Defendant prays your Honorable Court issue an Order requiring Plaintiff to specifically state the conduct of the Defendant that was in violation of 73 P.S.
