stntements nnd reports to the complaint. The Conlll1onwenlth Court opined thUlthe nttnehment
of these dOf;uments is notnecessnry innsmueh as they did not la:l:!I1l: the legnlobligntions between
the parties. We believe that the invoices arc nkin to the financial stUlements in Eu.:ili:r.
Therelore, there is no need 10 hnve the nClual invoices nttaehed to the complaint itsel/:
Furthermore. we find that the plnintitrs complaint complies with Pa.R.c.p. 1028(0)(3).
Exhibit A. nttached to the complaint, lists the date the itcms wcre received. the invoice amount,
and the invoice numbers. This is suHicient tonotity Larkin of the elaims against them. "[Tjhe
motion for specificity cannot be used to make a party plend purely evidentiary matters; nnd the
rcquircmcnts of precision and dctailare more easily met where the mallcrs involved arc cqually
or more in the knowledge of the objecting party." Local No. 163 v. Watkins, 417 Po. 120, 122-
123, 207 A.2d 776, 778 (1965). Larkin need only search its records lor any of the invoice
numbcrs listed in plaintit1's complaint. In the meantime, to require anything more in Hempt's
complaint would be unduly burdensome and would elevate the invoices li'llm their proper place
as mere evidence.
ORDE~
AND NOW, this
j'
day of Junc. 1998, the preliminary objections of the
defendants to the plaintiff's complaint are OVERRULED.
