: Civil Action
BRIEF IN OPPOSITION OF PETITION TO OPEN DEFAULT JUDGMENT
STATEMENT OF FACT:
On April 1, 1999, two separate business agreements were executed which involved the
sale of certain business assets used in the operation of a bar and restaurant business, as well as
certain real estate which housed the bar/restaurant operation. The real estate transaction was an
Installment Sales Agreement which occurred by and between Fern 1. Wilson, owner of the real
estate located at 401-403 Market Street, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and Ira J. McManus,
Jr., Leslie McManus, James R. Dunkle, and Karen 1. Dunkle for sale of the real estate. The
terms of the sale were set forth in an Installment Sales Agreement which is attached to this Brief
as Exhibit "A". The second transaction was the sale of certain assets by the corporation,
FemRock-Snyder, Inc. to McDunks, Inc. That transaction provided for transfer of specific
assets. Those assets conveyed pursuant to that transaction were a PLCB license valued at
$70,000.00; certain physical assets in "as-is" condition valued at $45,000.00; liquor and alcohol
beverage inventory at cost; and the fictitious name, "Pete's Cafe" and any good will at a value of
$15,000.00, It is specifically noted this latter transaction neither consisted ofthe sale of
business, any stock transfer, transfer of employee contracts, or any other business situation. The
sale was asset transfer only.
,,-,.1
,,,
'.
, '~
'~'1','.
~
Regarding the real estate transfer, title to the real estate would only transfer when full
satisfaction of the entire purchase price was paid. Title to all other assets transferred at closing,
which occurred June 22, 1999. However, certain security rights regarding the stock of the
McDunks, Inc. were, i~ fact, reserved to protect the Seller in retrieving the liquor licen~e in the
event of default in payment. Also, personal guarantees for the payment of the moneys owed by
McDunks, Inc. were made by the McManus and Dunkles individually.
The terms of bQ_th agreements included Sellers' financing. The sales price for the sale of
the real estate was Two Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($295,000.00). The terms of the
financing are set forth in Paragraph 3 of that Agreement but included a Thirty Thousand Dollar
($30,000.00) down payment with the balance amortized over twenty (20) years and paid in
eighty-four monthly equal installments of One Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-Five Dollars
and 69/100 ($1,785.69) and a balloon payment of Two Hundred Two Thousand Four Hundred
Sixty-eight Dollars and 41/100 ($202,468.41). The sale price for the assets was One Hundred
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($130,000.00). The financing terms for this transfer are set forth in
Article 2 of that Agreement but included a down payment of Fifteen Thousand Dollars
($15,000.00) with the balance of One Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($115,000.00)
amortized over a twenty (20) year period with a balloon payment on the eighty-fifth (85th)
month. The interim eighty-four (84) equal installments were Seven Hundred Seventy-Four
Dollars and 92/100 ($774.92). A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached to the brief
\
of Petitioners as Exhibit "B". The result of the two transactions was that the Buyers obtained
assets valued Four Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($425,000.00) with a down payment
of Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00) and promises to make monthly payments and

_:,c
perform certain other obligations, including payment of insurance, taxes, etc. As indicated
below, Buyers in neither transaction have met the obligations undertaken pursuant to their
Agreements.
As time ensued, the Buyers in both transactions consistently failed to make timely
payment, made payment with insufficient fund checks and ultimately made no payment. They
also failed to carry appropriate insurance and timely pay taxes. The specifications of the non-
payment were specifically plead in the complaints for confession. As a courtesy and in the
hopes of rectifYing the situation, advance written notices of default were given to Buyers on June
9,2000 in an effort to ensure all were aware of the conditions of non-payment although such
notice was not required. However, no change in payments occurred. Thereafter, payments were
made with a bad check or not made at all. In fact before the filing of the confessions, the last
"good" payment made on the business was in July, 2000.
On or about October 3, 2000, after receiving no payments on either agreement,
FemRock-Snyder, Inc. and Fern 1. Wilson, exercised their contractual rights to confess
judgment in accordance with the remedies contained in the Agreements. Two actions were
commenced on October 3, 2000. The first was captioned, Fern Rock-Snyder, Inc v McDunks,
Inc., Ira J. McManus, Jr., Leslie J. McManus, James R. Dunkle, and Karen L Dunkle was filed
to Docket No. 00-6777 in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County. This action was
for a money judgment consistent with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the
personal guarantees by McManus and Dunkles. The second action, captioned Fern 1. Wilson v.
Ira J. McManus, Jr., Leslie J McManus, James R. Dunkle, and Karen 1. Dunkle and filed to

Docket No. 00-6778 in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, which is the present
captioned action, included a confession of judgment for possession of the real estate. Thirty day
Notice of Judgment and Execution pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 2958.1 and 2973.2 were given.
Service by certified m~il was made on counsel for the Buyers on October 5 and 6, 200~ After
failing to successfully serve all individuals and entities by certified mail, personal service was
effectuated on all named Defendants on October 25, 2000.
No challenge has been filed to the action captioned to No. 00-6777. That confession
consisted ofa money judgment in the amount of One Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Eight
Hundred Two Dollars and 43/00 ($123,802.43), plus cost.
On or about November 1,2000, Petitioners filed a Petition to Open Confessed Judgment
in the current action. The matter has been listed for argument; however, no rule has ever been
issued by the court in accordance to Pa.R.Civ.P. 2959(b) for Respondent to show cause why the
relief should or should not be granted. It is this listing which is for argument today.
ARGUMENT:
I. THE FAILURE OF THE COURT TO FIND A PRIMA
FACIE CASE PRECLUDES THE OPENING OF THE
JUDGMENT FOR POSSESSION.
Pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 2959(b), upon a petition for opening of a confession of judgment
is filed, the court is required to examine the contents of the pleading to make a prima facie
determination if a Rule to Show Cause should be issued. Ohio Pure Foods, Inc v Barbe, 548
4
~~~J~~~~,:~';'~!~!l~~.JnLill~"~'-~~~i{ -i ll~~" ~:"hU-t'\dk~,~~:~~~~~~~~i~;~:ji~;:'
--
Pa. 373, 697 A.2d 252 (1997). If such grounds do not exist, the court may not issue a rule to
show cause why the confessed judgment should not be opened. The Superior Court in Pittsburgh
v. Allegheny County Distributors, Inc, 339 Pa. Super. 109,488 A.2d 333 (1985) determined that
this threshold must bemet before the other procedures are to take place. In this matter.;:it is
believed and averred that this Court has not made a prima facie determination of cause for
opening since no Rule has issued or ever been served on the Plaintiff, Fern 1. Wilson. Hence, in
review, no factual response is required and the Petition should be dismissed. Ifthe Court
chooses to correct any-defect in the action deeming the failure to issue a rule to be procedural
rather than substantiative, then a rule should be issued to which a verified answer can be filed
prior to any determination of whether the judgment should be opened.
~
II. PETITIONERS HAVE FAILED TO PLEAD A PRIMA
FACIE CASE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A RULE.
Petitioners have attempted to stave off a judgment for possession of the real estate by
Fern 1. Wilson on the theory that Fern 1. Wilson, as President of FemRock-Snyder, Inc.,
allegedly made misrepresentations of payroll and past financial corporate records reviewed at the
time of contract for the sale of assets used and useful in the operation of a business. It must be
noted that this present action has nothing to do with the sale of the business assets. This is an
action on the Installment Sales Agreement for the sale of real estate, which agreement is
significantly in default and, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, possession is mandated.
Further, since April 1, 1999, and continuing until the filing of the Confessions of
Judgment in both actions, it is crucial to note that there was NEVER any allegation or even
5
.1
".
I
I
.
-
,^ - ~hi
~
mention made by the Buyers in either transaction of fraud or any type of misrepresentation.
Even after a notice of the default and in response to various calls seeking payment, the alleged
issues of fraud and misrepresentation were never raised. Only after the confessions of judgment
were of record and a meeting occurred on October 25, 2000, was any mention made by the
Buyers that they believed that they had somehow been wronged in the transaction. In the brief
filed at page 2, it is averred that the Defendants have refused to pay since July, 2000 due to
alleged fraudulent actions. This is totally incorrect. Multiple promises had been made by James
R. Dunkle that paymel}~ was to be forthcoming. Also, as evidenced by Exhibit "D" attached to
the Confession of Judgment Complaint, an actual payment was made on August 27,2000.
Unfortunately, that check was returned for insufficient funds. Another payment was tendered
after the confession on October 6, 2000. Hence, the validity of these allegations that no
payments were tendered because of fraud and misrepresentation are untrue. It is believed that
Petitioners are without the means to satisfY the Agreement while retaining control of the assets.
Such a situation imposes significant prejudice and hardship to the Sellers and must not continue.
Finally, even if any fraud allegations could be sustained, it is irrelevant to both
transactions since the transactions contemplated are asset transfers. This judgment deals with
possession of real estate which is being transferred pursuant to an Installment Sales Agreement.
The allegations of fraud and misrepresentation on employee matters are clearly irrelevant. It is
further noted that, even if Petitioners had tried to open the judgment docketed to Docket No. 00-
6777 which dealt with the confession of the qloney judgment, there is no prima facie case plead
to support the opening in light of the Agreements appended. The Agreement was for asset
transfer and there is not a single allegation that the license was not transferred, that the "as-is"

assets were not received; that the fictitious name and good will were not transferred. There is no
allegation that the Petitioners did not receive what it legally contracted for. Since the Asset
Purchase Agreement made no representation of transfer of employee contracts, guarantees of
payroll, or other corpo}ate business transaction, the allegations of misrepresentation ol1..these
issues alone are irrelevant and insufficient to open up the judgement confessed in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement and the law.
In light of the above, it is asserted that a rule should not even be issued for response by
Fern 1. Wilson in this matter or in any other docket and the confessed judgments should not be
opened. There is no way that the Petitioners have plead or can ever plead any possible defense to
all or part ofthe confession sums. Alternatively, in the event that the court determines that a rule
should issue pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 2959 (b), Fern 1. Wilson should be given an opportunity to
respond and the matter of opening should occur only after appropriate depositions, affidavits,
and other discovery. However, Petitioners should be made to plead with clarity and relevance
the basis of its charge to the real estate contract, supported with a properly verified pleading. It
is asserted that even the verification on the petition, as made by counsel, is insufficient and does
not comport with the requirements ofPa.R.Civ.P. 1024. Hence, it is requested that the Petition
be denied even without the issuance of the appropriate rule and said Petition be stricken.

CIVIL ACTION
BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PETITION
TO OPEN DEFAULT .JUDGMENT
Defendants, Ira McManus, Jr., Leslie J. McManus, James R, Dunkle, and Karen L.
Dunkle, by and through their attorney, Anna Marie Sossong and the law firm of Skarlatos &
Zlmarich, UP, respectfully petition this Court to open the confessed judgment under Pa.R.C.P.
2959, and in support states as follows:
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Plaintiff, Fern L. Wilson (hereinafter "Plaintiff'), is the owner of a restaurant, liquor
license, and real property located at 401-403 Market Street (hereinafter "Property"), New
Cumberland, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The Property is known as Pete's CaftS.
On April 1, 1999, Plaintiff and Defendants entered into an Installment Sales Agreement
(hereinafter "ISA Agreement") for the purchase of the Property. The purchase price for the real
estate according to the Agreement wa.s Two Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars
"e$~95,OOO.00). Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) was paid at the time ofthe closing. A copy
of the ISA Agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 1.
On April 1, 1999, Plaintiff, under the name Femrock Snyder, Inc., and Defendants, under
the name McDunk, Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the purchase of the
Plaintiffs Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Distribution License with a Sunday Sales Permit

and Amusement Permit. The Asset Purchase Agreement also included physical assets such as
equipment, furniture, fixtures, vehicle, inventory, etc.; liquor and alcoholic beverage inventory;
and intangible assets including the fictitious name, The purchase price for these assets was One
Hundred Thirty Dollars ($130,000,00), Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) was paid at
closing, The remaining One Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($115,000.00) was to be paid in
eighty-four (84) equal monthly installments of Seven Hundred Seventy-Four and 92/100 Dollars
($774.92). A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein as
Exhibit 2.
Defendants gained possession of Plaintiffs Property on or about April 1, 1999.
Defendants have refused to make the payments due for August, September, and October, 2000
after learning that the Agreements had been signed based upon fraudulent representations by
Seller, Fern L. Wilson, Plaintiff in this matter. The Defendants entered into these Agreements
because offraudulenl representations made by Seller, Plaintiff herein.
The fraudulent representations misstated the financial status of Pete's Cafe. Specifically,
these representations included a list of employees of Plaintiffs business who were paid in whole
or in part in cash but which such cash payments were never included on the payroll records. The
Defendants reviewed the payroll records of Pete's Cafe when they reviewed all the financial
records of Pete's Cafe before making the decision to purchase the Property.
. ~
Defendants also learned that the Plaintiff s monthly financial status reports were
predominately and intentionally misstated, indicating that the business was making money prior
to its sale, therefore inducing Defendants to purchase the business.

After learning of the fraudulent misrepresentations of the Plaintiff, Defendants did not
pay their rent on the Property. The Plaintiff then filed a motion for possession of real property. A
judgment for possession of real property was entered against the Defendants on October 3, 2000,
QUESTION PRESENTED
Is the fraudulent misrepresentations made by the Plaintiff to the Defendants in the purchase of
Pete's Cafe a question of fact that therefore entitles the Defendants to have the Default Judgment
opened in this case as is required by the Pa.R.C.P. 2959(3)(e)?
DISCUSSION
According to the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure ~2959(3)(e), a petition for
judgment by confession can be opened "if evidence is produced which in a jury trial would
require the issues to be submitted to the jury." Pa.R.C,P. ~2959(3)(e) and Greenwood v.
Kadoich. 239 Pa.Super. 372, 373, 357 A.2d 604 (1976). The evidence in this case that should be
submitted and reviewed by a jury is evidence proving Defendants allegation of fraud. In the
negotiating stages of the Agreement, Plaintiff induced Defendants into believing that Pete's Cafe
was prospering when in fact the financial records being kept were predominately and
intentionally misstated. As stated in Defendant's Petition to Open Confessed Judgment, "at the
time the Defendants executed the Agreement, Defendants did not know that the Plaintiff
: ,misrepresented material facts that would have been pivotal in the decision to sign the
,
Agreement." (Petition to Open Judgment, #4).
"[A] court can no longer weigh the evidence in support ofthe defense, but must only
detennine whether there is sufficient evidence to allow the issue to go to the jury." Greenwood.
at 373, citing to Wolgin v. Mickman. 233 Pa.Super. 218, 221-22, 335 A.2d 824 (1976). The
information provided to the Defendants in this case constitutes fraud according the five elements
!,'ti= ,,-,," ~--.~
~ .....
.1
- ~ '~'~''''''~~~"'~~!ffii
,
.
,
, ,
.. j
required to prove fraud. The five elements of fraud are "1) a misrepresentation; 2) that if the
misrepresentation was innocently made related to a matter material to the transaction, or if it was
knowingly made, materially is not required; 3) an intention by the maker that the recipient will
thereby be induced to act; 4) justifiable reliance by the recipient upon the misrepresentations; and
5) damage to the recipient as the proximate result." Felix v. Fraternal Order of Police.
Philadelphia Lodge No.5. 759 A.2d 34, 37 (2000),
The Defendants relied on information presented to them by the Plaintiff in order to make
their decision to purchase Pete's Cafe. "[D]efendants have received information that Plaintiff
artificially increased the sales volume shown on the financial records of the business prior to
Defendant's purchase." (Petition to Open Confessed Judgment #6). As also asserted in
Defendants Petition to Open Confessed Judgment, "Plaintiff had paid a number of employees
'under the table' which increased the out-of-pocket costs to the Defendants by over $1,000 per
week. This information had never been conveyed to the Defendants prior to their signing of the
Agreement," (Petition to Open Confessed Judgment #5). Fraud is a "question of fact" and
therefore is always a question for the jury. Greenwood, at 373.
Under Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure ~2959(3)(e) there is no longer a
requirement of "convincing evidence" to open a confessed judgment. Pa.R.C.P. ~2959(3)( e). The
. requirement to open a confessed judgment is that of "clear, direct, and precise and 'believable'
"
evidence." Suburban Mechanical Contractors. Inc, v. Leo, 348 Pa.Super. 324, 502 A.2d 230, 232
(1985) citing from First Pennsvlvania Bank. N.A. v. Lehf. 293 Pa.Super. 189,201-202,438 A.2d
600, 607 (1981). Defendants had contacted a former employee of the Plaintiff who had
completed the monthly financial status reports for the business. The employee informed the
Defendants that the Plaintiff would alter the figures before the Plaintiff s accountant would

review the Plaintiff's financial reports, thereby artificially increasing the sales volume of the
business. The employee also informed the Defendants that the Plaintiff would frequently borrow
from her line of credit to keep the business running. This information was discovered after the
Defendants had in fact entered into the Agreement to purchase Pete's Cafe. This information
would have been pivotal in the Defendants' decision to purchase Pete's Cafe had the Plaintiff
disclosed the correct facts to them.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, Ira McManus, Jr., Leslie J. McManus, James R. Dunkle, and
Karen L. Dunkle, respectfully requests that this Court open the judgment by confession of
October 3, 2000 in the above-captioned matter.

IN RE: DEFENDANTS' PETITION TO OPEN CONFESSED JUDGMENT
BEFORE HOFFER, P.J., OLER and GUIDO, JJ.
OPINION and ORDER OF COURT
Oler, J., February ,2001
In this breach of contract case, Plaintiff filed a complaint and confession of
judgment for possession of real estate on October 3, 2000, after Defendants
allegedly defaulted on payments required under an installment sales agreement.
The agreement was entered into in connection with the transfer of commercial real
estate located at 401-403 Market Street, New Cumberland, Cumberland County,
Pennsylv~mia, and of "certain assets used and useful in operation of a bar,
restaurant and catering business known as Pete's Cafe ....,,1
The association between the installment sales agreement, pursuant to which
the confession of judgment for possession was entered, and the sale of assets
relating to operation of the business, was evidenced by incorporation of the asset
agreement into the installment sales agreement. The latter agreement included
these recitals, according to Plaintiff s complaint:
WHEREAS, Buyers are additionally purchasing from
FernRock-Snyder, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation of which
Seller is the principal, certain assets used and useful in
operation of a bar, restaurant and catering business known as
Pete's Cafe, which [Asset Purchase] Agreement is attached

~

~
"^
',1' .1..

,'L,
-,.
"~,. '..' '-
',", ~ ~\.
hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference;
[and]
WHEREAS, purchase of real estate by Buyers
pursuant to this Agreement is contingent upon successful
consummation of Buyers' purchase of said assets of Pete's
Cafe and complete satisfaction of all payments due pursuant
to said [Asset Purchase] Agreement attached as Exhibit
"B"....2
On November 2, 2000, Defendants filed a timely petition to open the
confessed judgment pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2959(a)(3),
which provides that such a petition is to be filed within thirty days after service of
written notice of the confession of judgment.
In the petition to open, Defendants raised the defense of fraud in the
inducement by asserting that their entry into the agreement was predicated upon
fraud on the part of Plaintiff.3 Defendants allege that Plaintiff made fraudulent
misrepresentations and omissions of material facts, including omission of the fact
that she had paid a number of employees "under the table," resulting in
unexpectedly higher out-of-pocket costs to Defendants,4 and an overreport as to
sales volume as shown on the financial records of the business, prior to
Defendants' purchase,5 Defendants argue that whether their entry into the
agreement was the product of fraud is a question of fact, and that they therefore
are entitled to have the judgment opened under Pennsylvania Rule of Civil
Procedure 2959(3)(e).
2 Id. plaintiff asserts that the asset purchase agreement and the installment sales agreement are
unrelated, However, the court is of the view that, as evidenced by the language of the installment
sales agreement, it would be premature to deny Defendants' petition to open on the ground that
the two are unrelated,

Rule 2959(b) provides that, "[i]f the petition [to open a confessed
judgment] states prima facie grounds for relief the court shall issue a rule to show
cause ...." Rule 206.1, pertaining to petitions in general, is also instructive. Rule
206.5 provides:
(a) The rule to show cause procedure prescribed by this rule
shall apply if
(I) the relief sought by the petition is the opening of a
default judgment ....
* * * *
(b) A petitioner seeking the issuance of a rule to show cause
shall attach to the petition a proposed order6 ... and give
notice to all other parties of the intention to request the
court to issue the rule.
(c) If the petition is within the scope of subdivision (a), is
properly pleaded, and states prima facie grounds for relief,
the court shall enter an order issuing a rule to show
cause. ...
Under both Rule 2959(b) and Rule 206.5, a petitioner seeking to open a judgment
must aver prima facie grounds to open the judgment before a rule to show cause
may issue to compel a response.
Defendants' offer the defense of fraud in the inducement as the prima facie
ground for relief. Section 162 of the Restatement (Second) of Contracts (1979)
provides as follows:
(1) A misrepresentation is fraudulent if the maker intends his
assertion to induce a party to manifest his assent and the
maker
6 In the case sub judice, Defendants' proposed order attached to their petition to open the
confessed judgment mistakenly indicated that a rule had already been issued upon Plaintiff to
show cause why the confessed judgment should not be opened, No such rule had been issued,
3

.' "'"

(a) knows or believes that the assertion is not in accord
with the facts, or
(b) does not have the confidence that he states or
implies in the truth of the assertion, or
(c) knows that he does not have the basis that he states
or implies for the assertion.
(2) A misrepresentation is material if it would be likely to
induce a reasonable person to manifest his assent, or if the
maker knows that it would be likely to induce the recipient to
do so.
Furthermore, non-disclosure of a fact may be equivalent to a
misrepresentation. See Restatement (Second) of Contracts S 161 (1979). Typically,
the question of fraud is one of fact for the fact-finder. First Fed. Sav, and Loan
Ass 'n of Pittstown v. Reggie, 376 Pa. Super. 346, 355, 546 A.2d 62, 66 (1988).
Consequently, in order for a rule to issue in this case, Defendants' petition must
allege facts which would support a defense of fraud in the inducement,
In the case sub judice, the court is of the view that Defendants' allegations
that Plaintiff made fraudulent misrepresentations and omissions of material facts,
including the allegations that Plaintiff failed to mention that she had paid a number
of employees "under the table," increasing the out-of-pocket costs to Defendants,
and that Plaintiff misreported the sales volume on the financial records of the
business, prior to Defendants' purchase, are sufficient to support a defense of fraud
in the inducement. As a result, a rule will be issued, and Plaintiff will be afforded
an opportunity to respond to the allegations contained in Defendants' petition.
For the foregoing reasons, the following Order will be entered:
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this "It\.. day of February, 2001, upon consideration of

PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS'
PETITION TO OPEN CONFESSED .JUDGMENT
AND NOW COMES the Plaintiff, Fern 1. Wilson, and files this Response to the Petition
of Defendants to Open Confessed Judgement:
1. Admitted in Part. Denied in Part, It is admitted that Fern 1. Wilson commenced
this action on October 3, 2000 by Complaint to Confess Judgment against the Defendants upon
an Installment Sales Agreement (hereinafter "Agreement") which contained a warrant of
attorney. It is denied that a true and correct copy of the Agreement is attached to the Petition
since no exhibits were, in fact, attached to the filing as received by Plaintiff,
2, Admitted with the clarification that the complaint is an action for ejectment and,
as such, no itemization of damages are required. The complaint as filed is in accordance with
Pa, RC,P. 2970 and is substantially in compliance with Pa. RC.P. 2974, as is mandated by the
Rules of Civil Procedure for such actions. Plaintiff denies that Pa. RC.P. 2952(a)(7) and
2955(a) are relevant since this matter is not an action for recovery of money damages.
, " I ; J:,-:~;,,;~: ~""'". , ",'J
,'. - ~, ."', < " '" "',~~ ~-~~
, ,
3. Denied. It is denied that the sale was predicated upon fraudulent information.
Defendants have failed to plead fraud with the required specificity and particularity to enable the
Plaintiff to respond to the allegation. By way of further answer, it is specifically asserted that the
real estate consists of an existing building which was available for inspection by the Defendants.
It is further averred that the warranties of Seller as contained in the Agreement at paragraphs 22
and 23 make no reference to any financial records. There is no fraudulent breach averred, The
only breach of record is the lack of payment by the Defendants.
4. Denied, After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without information as to the
truth of the averment and same is denied. It is further denied that at any time Plaintiff
misrepresented material facts.
5. Denied. Paragraph 5 is denied. Plaintiff does admit that, on specific occasions, a
few, certain individuals were paid a limited amount of cash for certain types of services.
However, it is specifically denied that this information was not conveyed to the Defendants
during the negotiations of the sale of assets of the bar/restaurant business, which contract is not
at issue or relevant to these proceedings. It is specifically averred that this information was
communicated by Plaintiff to Defendant, James Dunkle, prior to the sale ofthe assets ofthe
business. Mr. Dunkle was not concerned about same indicating his intention to reconstruct and
change the entire business arrangement upon acquisition. Further, there was no expressed
intention by James Dunkle to maintain the employment of the certain individual. It is denied
that Defendants' "out of pocket" expenses were increased by $1,000.00 per week and proof
thereof is demanded. It is asserted that said expenses were increased because Defendants had
2
, " ~",^ "~ ,"' , " '" " I I". ''''^;I.~"i; ;,;,,;; 0. ::...."", "", '"'" ',-.',C: ,'d~'~ - ''''''''''1ii

too many employees on the payroll, including family members of the Dunkle family, These
individuals were paid monies for positions and work assignments which had been previously
undertaken by Plaintiff, Fern Wilson, without direct compensation as she worked in her regular
capacity with the business.
6. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiff had artificially increased the sales volume on the
records of the business prior to Defendants' purchase. It is averred that Plaintiff never increased
the sales volume for any purpose on any documents.
7, Denied. Paragraph 7 is denied as a conclusion oflaw to which no responsive
pleading is due.
8. Admitted,
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests the Court strike the Petition to Open the Confession of
Judgment in Ejectment and allow the matter to proceed in accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 2973.1.
