clahn, nlthough awarding no damages on the second verdict. A copy of tho Award is
attachlld herllto.
6, The parties formerly Iivlld togelhllr, Iirsl in a renlnl unil paid for by
Defondant, and laler in a home purchased by Defendant.
7, The parties lived in the home purchased by Defendant from February
1992 through December 1997,
8, The Plaintiff never enjoyed any ownership inleresl in the Defendanl's
home,
9. The parties separated as a result of a Prolection from Abuse Petition
and Order, entered in Cumberland Counly, and attached hereto as an appendix to
Defendant's Answer and Counterclaim.
10, Plaintiff commenced this action, claiming lhat he was entitled to
compensation for various improvements made on Plaintiff's home,
11, In his Complaint, Plaintiff claimed he invested over $25,000 of labor
and materials in work he performed on Defendant's home,
12, Plaintiff claimed damages of $25,000 based solely upon the legal
theory of unjust enrichment,
13. In his testimony at the Arbitration hearing, and at ~ 9 of his
Complaint, Plaintiff conceded that there was never a promise or agreement that he
would be paid for his work on the home.
14. As a result of retaining a professionnl appraiser of residential
property, Steven Barrett, Defendant was prepared to prove at the Arbitration hearing
"
, .
.,
that the value of the home had increaBed little, if any, above UBUal inflation rateB
during the time the Plaintiff claimB he made improvementB on the home,
16, AB a reBult of retaining a profeBBional rental agent, Candi Weller,
asBociated with Jack Gaughen Real EBtate, Defendant was prepared to prove at the
Arbitration hearing that the rental value attributable to the Plaintiff'B rent-free and
utility-free occupancy of the Defendant'B reBidence for five-and-one-half-yearB exceeded
the claimed amount of UnjUBt enrichment raiBed by the Plaintiff,
16, The Plaintiff'B only evidence preBented in hiB case was to offer hiB
own teBtimony and to call the Defendant as a witneBB,
17, The Plaintiff offered no expert teBtimony, nor any opinion teBtimony
as to the value of the home or the extent of the claimed increase in value as a reBult
of the work he performed, The Bole basiB for the dollar amount of hiB claim was to
itemize how much work he performed throughout the home and to multiply the hourB
by a "wage" of $25 per hour. According to hiB teBtimony, the wage claimed far
exceeded any wageB he received for work he performed elBewhere, Only a minimal
amount of the claim was connected to any actual COBtB or out-of-pocket expenditureB
of the Plaintiff,
18. During hiB teBtimony, the Plaintiff Btated that he Btill wiBhed to
reunite with the Defendant,
19, In her teBtimony, the Defendant confirmed that there had never been
any agreement or contract to pay the Plaintiff for any work performed on the home.
20, The Defendant preBented exhibitB demonBtrating that Bhe Bpent a
total of $58,175.41 in utilitieB (water, cable, telephone, electric, gas, trash and Bewer)

und mortgage payments on the home she purchased, during the time the parties
resided in this home,
21. The Defendunt testified that during the time the parties resided
'T,n."...~.,"P-" ,
together in the home purchused by her, she paid all the mortgage and utility bills,
22. In his testimony, the Plaintiff agreed that he did not pay any of the
utility or mortgage expenses, except for telephone expenses attributable to him,
23, The Defendant also presented exhibits demonstrating that she spent
$11,410,66 in labor and materials for work performed, or materials supplied on her
home during the time she and the Plaintiff resided there,
24, At the conclusion of the Plaintiff's case, the Arbitrators granted the
Defendant's Demurer and Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's claim, based upon the lack of
any asserted contract and based upon the lack of any evidence relating to calculation
of damages on the unjust enrichment claim,
25, Defendant asserts that the initiation of the Complaint by Plaintiff,
and his continued pursuit of the claim even after being placed on notice that
Defendant intended to seek fees constitutes obdurate or vexatious conduct, justifying
an award of attorney fees under 42 Pa,C,S.A, ~2503,
26, Defendant asserts that this case was brought by Plaintiff for two
reasons. First, he hoped the parties could reunite and that through this legal
proceeding, they could have contact with one another, He used the legal proceeding,
by having the opportunity to testify that he still hoped to reunite with the Defendant.
Second, in the event he was not able to reunite with the Defendant, the proceeding
presented an opportunity to punish Defendant for her decision to separate from him,

'.
6. Admitted that this type of work was performed. Some of it was jointly
performed by Plaintiff and Defendant.
7. Denied. This averment joins together labor and materials. Defendant
asserts that Plaintiffs material contribution to the home was minimal, and that his
labor was offered In"atis, with no intent to charge, and therefore cannot be
characterized as an "investment." Additionnlly, thc Defenant purchased various hand
tools to perform this work and nil of these tools rcmain in the Plaintiffs possession.
8. Denied there has been a significant increase in value of the home due to
Plaintiffs efforts. Strict proof is demanded.
9. Denied. As stated above, there was no intent to charge for the work
Plaintiff performed, so it was never anticipated by the parties that Plaintiff would be
paid anything. Denied that due solely to Plaintiffs efforts, the home significantly
increased in value.
10. Denied there was a resulting increase in value, or the Defendant was
unjustly enriched. To the contrary, during this entirc time, Plaintiff continued to
reside in Defendant's home, and before that in her apartment, without Plaintiff
contributing to rent, mortgage, utilities (including gas, electric, telephone, and cable),
or even his own long distance cnlls.
NEW MA'ITER
11. The statements made above are incorporated herein.
12. The Plaintiff has asserted a claim for relief of an equitable nature, but does
not have clean hands to do so in that:
a. The Plaintiff has received the benefits of rent and utility free housing
during the entire relationship between the parties, including the entire time the
parties resided together at Defendant's residence.
b. Defendant asserts that the rental benefit which Plaintiff received was
approximately $700 per month.
c. The total rental and utility benefits which the Plaintiff received during
the time he claims to have improved the Defendant's home exceed in benefit the
amount which Plaintiff now claims as unjust enrichment to the Defendant.
d. The Plaintiff is the named Defendant in a Protection from Abuse
Order obtained by Cheryl Ault against Daryl Seese, which resulted from her nllegations
that he abused her, as defined by the Pennsylvania Protection from Abuse Act, during
the time the parties resided together at Cheryl Ault's residence. A copy of the
Petition, Consent Agreement, and Order are attached. The nllegations of abuse
include offenses which would constitute simple assault and terroristic threats under
the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.
e. Within the Protection from Abuse Petition, Cheryl Ault alleged the
following, and she continues to assert that the following occurred:
i. On or about December 17, 1997, at Ms. Ault's residence, Mr.
Seese argued with Ms. Ault and became increasingly more agitated, causing her to fear
for her safety. When she told him that she was afraid of him and wanted to leave, he
grabbed her car keys, and pushed her down onto the chair when she tried to get up,
to prevent her from physicnlly leaving the home. After she telephoned 911 for help,
he unplugged the telephone cord from the wnll and stood in front of the wnlljack when
she tried to plug in the telephone. He the followed her when she went outside to wait
.
for the Hampden Township Police to arrive, told her that the only way he was leaving
the house was in a body bag, and went back inside the house. He would not permit
the Plaintiff to take her purse or keys and leave for the evening until he calmed duwn,
and he did not return these items for several days, when he finally took them to the
police department. When the police arrived, she advised them of his violence. The
police asked whether there were any weapons in the home. She explained that he had
several weapons (rifles, shotguns, and a compound bow and arrows) in the house.
The police tried repeatedly to make contact with him but he would not answer the
door and hung up the telephone when they called. When she telephoned him from the
police station, at their request, he tried to coerce her into returning to the house to
talk with him, but the police advised her not to return to the home because the
defendant had access to his weapons and was unstable. At one point, he threatend to
take his own life during telephone calls with family. A standoff occurred for an
extended period of time until Mr. Seese finally began to cooperate with the police.
ii. On or about August 1997, Mr. Seese kicked Ms. Ault in the side,
shook her violently, causing her to fall to the ground, threatened her, saying, "I think
I'm going to kill you today, but I don't know how." He broke bottles full of beer
against the wall, while yelling and screeming, he struck the walls with his fists, went
into a room and returned with one of his rifles, told her it was loaded, and pointed it
at her, causing her to fear for her life. When she tried to leave, he grabbed her by the
arm and shoved her into the bed. As she got up from the bed, he grabbed her by the
neck, held her against the wall, and told her that she could not go anywhere or do
anything without his permission.
iii. Since approximately August 1997, Mr. Seese physcially and
mentally abused Ms. Ault in various other ways, including but not limited to,
threatening to kill her if he found her with another man, following her to make sure
she was going to work, physically accosting and/or threatening her friends when she
had been with them in public places, monitoring her telephone calls by listening to her
conversations on an extension telephone and using the *69 feature on the telephone
to ascertain the identity of whoever called her, and repeatedly telephoning her and her
coworkers at her place of employment to determine whether or not she was at work.
f. Shortly after the parties separated, Mr. Seese telephone coworkers and
superiors at Ms. Ault's place of employment, making statements which were intended
to be slanderous of her and which were intended to do harm to her career.
g. The parties separated due to the wrongful conduct of Daryl Seese, and
not due to any conduct of Cheryl Ault, nor any plan on her part to have benefitted
from and labor of Mr. Seese.
AFFmMATIVE DEFENSES
ACCORD AND SATISFACTION
13. The statements made above are incorporated herein.
14. The parties entered into negotiations in response to Cheryl Ault's
Protection from Abuse Petition, which led to a Consent Agreement and Order.
15. As a part of these negotiations, Daryl Seese insisted that the parties resolve
various property matters and economic matters at issue between the two of them.
16. The parties reached a full and fmal agreement between them as to their
respective interests in all property, including financial, and other claims which either
\
'.~
. '
might make against the other. This resulted in an exchange of items of property and
,
i
'I
I
payment of money to Daryl Seese by Cheryl Ault.
WHEREFORE, Cheryl Ault respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint based upon the accord and satisfaction of all financial
disputes between the parties.
COUNTERCLAIM
17. The statements made above are incorporated herein.
18. As a result of the abusive and assaultive behavior of Daryl Seese, as set
forth above, Cheryl Ault suffered physical and emotional harm, in that Daryl Seese:
a. Threatened her life and safety;
b. Physically assaulted her; and
c. Precluded her from entering into her own home for a period of time,
because of his threats to do harm to himself and because of her fear of him.
WHEREFORE, in the event this Honorable Court determines that the
damages sought in this Counterclaim were not resolved by the prior a,.areements and
exchanges of the parties, Cheryl Ault respectfully requests of this Honorable Court
that it enter judgment in her favor, in an amount of damages not to exceed $25,000.00.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PETITION
FOR COUNSEL FEES PURSUANT TO
42 PACSA ~ 2503
,
('
"
Samuel W. Milkes, Esq., Jacobsen & Milkes, and formerly places the Plaintiff on Notice
of Defendant's intention to seek counsel fees under 42 PACSA ~ 2503, at the
conclusion of this litigation. In providing this Notice, Defendant states as follows.
1. The statute in question allows for the award of counsel fees as a
sanction against another participant in litigation for dilatory, obdurate or vexatious
conduct during the pendency of a matter or for the commencement of a matter
considered to be arbitrary, vexatious, or commenced in bad faith.
2. Defendant recognizes that the appropriate time to formally request
counsel fees is by Petition after the conclusion of a case, and therefore, the instant
pleading is not intended to be construed as a formal request for action on attorney
fees, but rather it is intended to place the Plaintiff on notice as to Defendant's
intentions.
3. The Defendant considers this matter to fall within the type of conduct
intended to be covered under ~2503 for reasons which can be developed during the
course of this litigation but which include primarily the following:
.. - .
.
I'. .
. . . ,
. . , .
. '. -., ..
a. The Plaintiff is well aware that he received substantial
monetary benefits from the Defendant over the course of their relationship, including
rent and utility free housing, as well as continued housing with no mortgage or utility
payments after the Defendant purchased a home. Accordingly, the Plaintiff is well
aware that even if he were to prevail on his claim that there was some understanding
regarding any improvements he would make on Defendant's home (the existence of
any such understanding is denied by the Defendant), that understanding is offset by
the benefits received.
b. Due to the Plaintiff's wrongful conduct, leading up to the
separation of the parties, the equitable relief sought in this action by Plaintiff is
precluded.
c. The Plaintiff is attempting to use this litigation forum as a
means of venting or otherwise exercising his dissatisfaction with the dissolution of the
relationship between the parties and not as is intended in our court system, for
purposes of litigating legitimate legal disputes.
WHEREFORE, Defendant places Plaintiff on Notice of her
intention to seek an award of counsel fees at the conclusion of this case.
Respectfully submitted,

6. Admitted that this type of work was perforrned. Some of it was jointly
performed by Plaintiff and Defendant.
7. Denied. This averment joins together labor and materials. Defendant
asserts thut Plaintiff's rnaterial contribution to the home was minirnal, and that his
labor was offered gratis, with no intent to charge, and therefore cannot be
characterized as an "investment." Additionally, the Defenant purchased various hand
tools to perform this work and all of these tools remain in the Plaintiff's possession.
8. Denied there has been a significant increase in value of the home due to
Plaintiff's efforts. Strict proof is demanded.
9. Denied. As stated above, there was no intent to charge for the work
Plaintiff performed, so it was never anticipated by the parties that Plaintiff would be
paid anything. Denied that due solely to Plaintifrs efforts, the home significantly
increased in value.
10. Denied there was a resulting increase in value, or the Defendant was
unjustly enriched. To the contrary, during this entire time, Plaintiff continued to
reside in Defendant's home, and before that in her apartment, without Plaintiff
contributing to rent, mortgage, utilities (including gas, electric, telephone, and cable),
or even his own long distance calls.
NEW MATTER
11. The statements made above are incorporated herein.
12. The Plaintiff has asserted a claim for relief of an equitable nature, but does
not have clean hands to do so in that:
a. The Plaintiff has received the benefits of rent and utility free housing
during the entire relationship between the parties, including the entire time the
parties resided together at Defendant's residence.
b. Defendant asserts that the rental benefit which Plaintiff received was
approxirnately $700 per rnonth.
c. The total rentallll1d utility benefits which the Plaintiff received during
the time he chums to have improved the Defendant's horne exceed in benefit the
1lD10unt which Plaintiff now claims IlB unjust enrichment to the Defendlll1t.
d. The Plaintiff is the nllD1ed Defendlll1t in a Protection from Abuse
Order obtained by Cheryl Ault against Daryl Seese, which resulted from her allegations
that he abused her, IlB defined by the PennsylvllI1ia Protection from Abuse Act, during
the time the parties resided together at Cheryl Ault's residence. A copy of the
Petition, Consent Agreement, and Order are attached. The allegations of abuse
include offenses which would constitute simple IlBsault IlI1d terroristic threats under
the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.
e. Within the Protection from Abuse Petition, Cheryl Ault alleged the
following, IlI1d she continues to IlBsert that the following occurred:
i. On or about December 17, 1997, at Ms. Ault's residence, Mr.
Seese argued with Ms. Ault IlI1d becllD1e increllBingly more agitated, causing her to fear
for her safety. When she told him that she was afraid of him and wlll1ted to leave, he
grabbed her car keys, IlI1d pushed her down onto the chair when she tried to get up,
to prevent her from physically leaving the home. Mter she telephoned 911 for help,
he unplugged the telephone cord from the walllll1d stood in front of the wall jack when
she tried to plug in the telephone. He the followed her when she went outside to wait
for the Harnpden Township Police to arrive, told her that the only way he was leaving
the house was in a body bag, and went back inside the house. He would not permit
the Plaintiff to take her purse or keys and leave for the evening until he calrned down,
and he did not return these items for several days, when he finally took them to the
police department. When the police arrived, she advised them of his violence. The
police asked whether there were any weapons in the home. She explained that he had
several weapons (rifles, shotguns, and a compound bow and arrows) in the house.
The police tried repeatedly to make contact with him but he would not answer the
door and hung up the telephone when they called. When she telephoned Wm from the
police station, at their request, he tried to coerce her into returning to the house to
talk with him, but the police advised her not to return to the home because the
defendant had access to his weapons and was unstable. At one point, he threatend to
take his own life during telephone calls with family. A standoff occurred for an
extended period of time until Mr. Seese finally began to cooperate with the police.
ii. On or about August 1997, Mr. Seese kicked Ms. Ault in the side,
shook her violently, causing her to fall to the ground, threatened her, saying, "I think
I'm going to kill you today, but I don't know how." He broke bottles full of beer
against the wall, wWle yelling and screeming, he struck the walls with his fists, went
into a room and returned with one of his rifles, told her it was loaded, and pointed it
at her, causing her to fear for her life. When she tried to leave, he grabbed her by the
arm and shoved her into the bed. As she got up from the bed, he grabbed her by the
neck, held her against the wall, and told her that she could not go anywhere or do
anything without his permission.
iii. Since approxirnately AUb'Ust 1997, Mr. Seese physcially and
mentally abused Ms. Ault in various other ways, including but not limited to,
threatening to kill her if he found her with another man, following her to make sure
she was going to work, physically accosting and/or threatening her friends when she
had been with them in public places, rnoniloring her telephone calls by listening to her
conversations on an extension telephone and using the *69 feature on the telephone
to ascertain the identity of whoever called her, and repeatedly telephoning her and her
coworkers at her place of employment to determine whether or not she was at work.
f. Shortly after the parties separated, Mr. Seese telephone coworkers and
superiors at Ms. Ault's place of employment, making statements which were intended
to be slanderous of her and which were intended to do harm to her career.
g. The parties separated due to the wrongful conduct of Daryl Seese, and
not due to any conduct of Cheryl Ault, nor any plan on her part to have benefitted
from and labor of Mr. Seese.
AFFffiMATIVE DEFENSES
ACCORD AND SATISFACTION
13. The statements made above are incorporated herein.
14. The parties entered into negotiations in response to Cheryl Ault's
Protection from Abuse Petition, which led to a Consent Agreement and Order.
15. }.~ a part of these negotiations, Daryl Seese insisted that the parties resolve
various property matters and economic matters at issue between the two of them.
16. The parties reached a full and final agreement between them as to their
respective interests in all property, including financial, and other claims which either

4 Plaintiff's Complaint, ad damnurn clausc.
At a compulsory arbitration hcaring. Dclendant prcsented cvidencc as to thc valuc
of labor and matcrials which hc allcgcdly 11Irnishcd in conncction with improvcmcnts to
Plaintifrs homc prior to thc dissolution of thcir rclationship. Thc fact Ihat Plaintiff had
donc a significant amount of work on thc homc was not disputcd by Dcfendant. Plaintiff
did not, howcver, prcscnt cvidcncc as to thc incrcasc in valuc of thc propcrty, if any,
attribulablc to thc improvcmcnts.
At thc conclusion of Plaintiffs casc, thc board of arbitrators suslained a rnotion by
Defcndant for a compulsory nonsuit The ruling was based upon the absence of evidcncc
as to the increasc in value of the property, which the board pcrceived to be the proper
rneasure of darnages in a quantum rneruit action.s No appeal was filed from the decision
ofthe board.
Subsequent to the board's decision, Plaintiff filed the petition sub judice for
counsel fees.
DISCUSSION
With respect to awards of counsel fees, Pennsylvania has traditionally adhered to
the "American rule":
The custornarily applied "Arnerican rule" provides that there can
be no recovery of counsel fees frorn an adverse party in the absence of
an express statutory allowance of attorney's fees, a clear contractual
agreernent between the parties, or sorne other established exception
perrnitting attorney's fees in a given situation.
Pennsylvania State Police v. Benny Enterprises, Inc., 669 A.2d 1018, 1022 (Pa. Cornrnw.
Ct 1995); see Act of July 9, 1976, P.L. 586, ~2, as amended, 42 Pa. C.S. ~I726(a)(1)
(1999 Supp.).
S The board did not reach a second defense raised by Defendant, in the nature of accord
and satisfaction. This defense was based upon an earlier settlernent of various personal
property issues between the parties. Whether the agreernent encornpassed other issues,
such as Plaintiffs c1airn arising out of irnprovernents to Defendant's prernises, was a
disputed issue of fact, dependent upon a determination of the parties' intentions. The
correctness of Defendant's position on the issue is not so rnanifest as to warrant a
favorable disposition of her petition for counsel fees on the basis ofthis defense.

Scction 2503 ofthc Judicial Codc providcs statutory authorization lhr thc rccovcry
of rcasonablc counscl fccs as part of thc taxablc costs of a casc whcrc thc conduct of a
party "in commcncing thc mallcr or othcrwisc was arbitrllry, vcxatious or in bad faith:'('
or "as a sanction against In] participant for dilatory, obdurntc or vcxatious conduct during
thc pcndcncy of amallcr:,7 intcr alia.
An action Ihr unjust cnrichmcnt bascd upon improvcmcnts madc to a dcfcndant's
prcmiscs by an occupant with a rcasonablc cxpcctation of continucd rcsidcncy upon thc
propcrty has bccn rccognizcd in Pcnnsylvania, in ccrtain circumstanccs. See, e.g.,
Chesney v. Stevens, 435 Pa. Supcr. 71, 644 A.2d 1240 (1994) (upholding award of
darnagcs on unjust cnrichrncnt thcory 10 month-to-month tcnants for improvcmcnts rnadc
to Icascd prcrniscs during lcnancy).
In thc prcscnt casc, PlaintilT's action was ostcnsibly bas cd upon facts giving risc to
a Icgitimate cause of action in quasi contract. Although Defcndant rnay be correct that
Plaintiff pursued an incorrect measurc of damagcs at thc arbitration hearing,8 relief in
quanturn rneruit cases is sornetirncs described as rcstitutionary in nature9 and confusion as
to the proper rncasure of darn ages in such actions is not uncornrnon.IO Under the
circurnstances of the case at bar, the court does not find itself in a position to characterize
PlaintilT's conduct in cornrnencing the action as arbitrary, vexatious or in bad faith, or in
rnaintaining the action as dilatory, obdurate or vexatious. In the absence of statutory
authorization which would otherwise sanction an award of counsel fees to Defendant, or
a contractualarrangernent providing for such a rcmedy, or sorne other applicable
