:
: CIVIL ACTION - LAW
GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY'S
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO COUNTERCLAIM OF
ARNOLD TRANSPORTATION SERVICES~ INC.
NOW COMES, Plaintiff, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company ("Great-
West"), by and through its attorneys, Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation, and files
this Preliminary Objection to the Counterclaim of Defendant Arnold Transportation
Services, Inc. ("Arnold") as follows:
PRELIMINARY OBJECTION I: LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY OF A PLEADING
(DEMURRER)
1. Great-West commenced this breach of contract and unjust enrichment action
by Complaint on February 24, 2003 (the "Action").
2. As a matter of background, Arnold entered into a contractual relationship with
Great-West for the establishment and maintenance of Arnold's self-funded Employee
Health and Welfare Benefit Plan (the "Plan"), effective January 1, 1997. (Complaint at ¶ 4).
3. Great-West's claim in the instant action arises out of Arnold's breach of the
parties agreement and consists of medical claims satisfied by Great-West on behalf of
Arnold's employees under the terms of Arnold's Plan.
Complaint on April 7, 2003 (the "Answer").
Arnold filed its Answer, Counterclaims and New Matter to Great-West's
5. In its Answer, Arnold asserts a single counterclaim "in equi.W under
Pennsylvania law seeking an accounting of the disputed $47,358.70." (Answer,
Counterclaim at ¶ 1) (emphasis added).
o
· . the plaintiff possesses an adequate remedy at law."
Mifflintown, 531 A.2d 1122, 1124 (Pa. Super. 1987).
"Pursuant to Pa. R. Civ. P. 1530, an equitable accounting is not proper where.
Buczek v. First National Bank of
7. Moreover, "[e]quitable jurisdiction for an accounting does not exist merely
because the plaintiff desires information that he could obtain through discovery." Buczek v.
First National Bank ofMifflintown, 531 A.2d 1122, 1124 (Pa. Super. 1987).
8. Arnold has not asserted in the Action that it is owed any sum or amount from
Great-West.
9. Arnold asserts instead simply that "Plaintiff failed to provide Arnold with
documentation to support [its claim for the disputed $47,358.70]."
10. Arnold's demand for an equitable accounting is thus in the nature of a defense
or off-set as to Great-West's legal claims in the Action.
2
11. Arnold has an adequate remedy at law in this breach of contract and unjust
enrichment Action.
12. Arnold can obtain the information it needs to defend against Great-West's
claims through the normal discovery process.
13. Arnold's claims in equi ,ty for an accounting thus fail to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted and should be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Pa. R. Civ.
P. 1028(a)(4). See Buczek v. First National Bank of Mifflintown, 531 A.2d 1122, 1124 (Pa.
Super. 1987).
WHEREFORE, Great-West respectfully requests that this Honorable Court dismiss
Arnold's Counterclaim seeking an Accounting with prejudice and award Great-West its
costs, attorneys' fees, and whatever further relief this Court deems just.
Respectfully submitted,
