Pa.R.C.P. 1019(h) requires that when a claim is based upon an agreement, the pleading shall state specifically if the agreement is oral or written. It is not clear from the Complaint whether Plaintiff is contending that the purchase orders attached as Exhibits A through BB constitute written agreement~ upon which the claim is based, or whether the invoices, which are not attached, constitute agreements upon which the claim is based, or whether the claim is based entirely upon oral agreements. b. Pa.R.C.P. 1019(i) requires that when a claim is based upon a writing, the pleader shall attach a copy of the writing.

While the invoices are referred to in the Complaint by invoice number, none of them is attached to the Complaint. 2. Insufficient specificity (Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a) (3)): a. The Complaint does not specifically indicate whether or not each claim is based upon an oral or written agreement. b. While Plaintiff repeatedly refers to purchase orders which are attached to the Complaint as exhibits, the claim appears to be based upon the Defendant's failure to pay invoices which are not attached to the Complaint as exhibits. The allegedly unpaid invoices are not specifically tied to particular purchase orders.

Plaintiff IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ACTION - LAW vs. NO. 01-519 CIVIL TERM VANGUARD HOMES, INC., Defendant DEFENDANT'S BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS I. Statement of Procedural Historv On or about January 25, 2001, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant, seeking damages in the amount of $37,705.25, and alleging in support thereof, that Defendant failed to pay various invoices for work and materials provided by Plaintiff. On February 20, 2001, the undersigned entered an appearance on behalf of Defendant, and filed preliminary objections to the complaint on March 12, 2001. Those objections are currently before Your Honorable Court for disposition. II. Statement of Facts Plaintiff alleges that pursuant to a course of dealing, Plaintiff provided labor, equipment and materials in the installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in various residential dwelling units constructed by Defendant in Cumberland and Dauphin Counties. (Complaint, ~3). Plaintiff alleges that the work was initiated by purchase orders faxed by Defendant to Plaintiff (Complaint, ~5), and copies of numerous ~ ... ' -,"__[. p _J~;i_ '" . - purchase orders are attached to the Complaint as exhibits. Plaintiff contends that various invoices issued by Plaintiff to Defendant were either not paid in full, or not paid at all (see for example, Complaint, paragraphs 7, 14 and 18). Plaintiff does not plead that there was a contract between the parties, or consequently, whether any such contract was oral or written. The allegedly unpaid invoices are not specifically tied to the purchase orders which are attached to the Complaint as exhibits. III. Statement of Issue Presented Should the complaint be dismissed, or alternatively should the plaintiff be ordered to file a more specific complaint, where the complaint fails to specifically plead whether the agreement upon which it is based is oral or written, and where the invoices upon which the claim is apparently based are not attached as exhibits? IV. Discussion Preliminary objections are authorized by Pa. R.C.P. 1017(a) and 1028 (a). Grounds for preliminary objections include failure of a pleading to conform to law or rule of court, and insufficient specificity in a pleading. Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a) (2), (3). Defendant contends that the pleading fails to conform to law or rule of court because it does not comply with Pa. R. C. P. 1019(h), which provides that "when any claim or defense is based upon an agreement, the pleading shall state specifically if the agreement is oral or written." The Complaint does not indicate - 2 - i-,.'l- '_ ----'_"-,"!",_ ,~, <",:-_ <,,-',- ""~:' , ~ ;', whether or not the cause of action is based upon an agreement. Paragraph 3 of the Complaint alleges a "course of dealing" between the parties, but does not indicate whether the "course of dealing" is based upon a writing. Because Plaintiff does not allege quasi- contract or unjust enrichment, it would appear that the claim is based upon an agreement. However, the Complaint does not specifically indicate whether the agreement is oral or written. various purchase orders are attached as exhibits. Most of them, however, were not signed by or on behalf of Defendant. If it is Plaintiff's contention that the purchase orders constitute written agreements, then Plaintiff should specifically so plead, as required by Rule 1019(h). Since the damages claim appears to be based upon failure of Defendant to pay invoices, Plaintiff may be contending that the invoices constitute a written agreement. It should be noted that the invoice numbers provided in the Complaint were not specifically tied to the purchase order numbers. See, for instance, paragraphs 17 and 18 of the Complaint. In some cases, Plaintiff pleads that Defendant paid amounts toward "purchase orders," but unpaid amounts refer to invoices, and not to purchase orders. If a pleading is silent as to whether or not an agreement is oral or written, there is an inference that the agreement is oral. 4 Standard Pa. Practice Second, ~21:66; Denlinqer. Inc. v. Aqresta, 714 A.2d 1048 (Pa. Superior Ct. 1998); but see Chesla v. Shoyer, 68 D. & C. 345 (Schuylkill Co. 1949), where the court held that - 3 - 1"-,',,-<'';.' -.-, ,,__,_, ~, - plaintiff must plead whether or not the contract was based upon a writing, even though the allegations were silent. However, if the facts create an inference that there is a written agreement, then the pleading must specifically assert whether the agreement is oral or written. Goodrich-Amram 2d, Vol.2, section 1019(h) :3. 1,' ;.'1 u create an inference that there is a written agreement. ;:1 ~J Iii i'l 1-, i:1 , , " " "i ,'] 1'1 I'i ~: I Defendant contends that read as a whole, the facts in the Complaint Accordingly, the Complaint should contain a specific averment to that effect. the writing. Where a cause of action is based upon a written I,,' ri i-I I:! i" 'I -I Pa. R.C.P. 1019(i) (previously 1019(h)) requires that when a claim is based upon a writing, the pleader shall attach a copy of agreement, a copy must be attached to the complaint. Jost v. Phoenixville Area School District, 267 Pa. Superior Ct. 461, 406 A.2d 1133 (1979). Since it appears that the claim may be based upon Defendant's alleged failure to pay invoices, and the invoices are not specifically tied to the purchase orders, the invoices should be attached to the Complaint as exhibits. Defendant acknowledges that in Hemot Bros., Inc. v. Larkin, 47 Cumbo L.J. 236 (1998), Your Honorable Court held that invoices are evidence, and need not be made part of the complaint. Defendant contends that Hemot Bros., Inc., is distinguishable. First, that case involved Pa. R.C.P. 1019 (h) now 1019 (i) apparently before the revisions to current 1019(h). Second, the reasoning of the Court was that the invoices did not actually - 4 - , ~o,:,,"-~.,,_tc;,._~; ....""',.",,-,,-, ,'-_r"'- ,,; :- a b- create the obligation which was allegedly breached. In the instant case, however, it is not clear which document, if any, created the obligation, and the invoices appear to be relied upon for that purpose. Defendant contends, alternatively, that the Complaint is insufficiently specific. Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a) (3). The Complaint does not indicate whether or not each claim is based upon the "course of dealing" referred to in paragraph 3 of the Complaint, whether the "course of dealing" is oral or written, or if the claims are based upon another agreement, whether or not that agreement is oral or written. The damages claim is based upon Defendant's alleged failure to pay the amounts reflected upon certain invoices. Since the invoices reflect different amounts than the purchase orders, and are not specifically tied to the purchase orders by averments in the Complaint, the invoices must be attached or Plaintiff should be directed to more specifically plead its cause of action. The court in Commonwealth. Department of Transportation v. Lishon, 46 Commwlth. Ct. 90, 405 A.2d 1128 (1979), stated as follows at 405 A.2d 1131: Pa.R.C.P. No. 1019(h)" requires the pleading to state specifically whether any claim set forth therein is based upon a writing and, if so, that a copy of the writing be attached. The complaint here is susceptible of a reading that the claim was based on an oral understanding or an oral understanding confirmed by letters or on a writing- the attached letters. The court below believed the claim "pa.R.C.P. No. 1019(h) is now found at No. 1019(i). - 5 - , .; __ I " "'. ",_"_~ i .._,-0.:' -, ., ,-, '. -'~-- was based on a writing. In their brief, the appellees say that the claim is based on inducement by "action, conduct and written agreement." The complaint clearly lacks specificity with respect to the form of the agreement. Based upon the foregoing, it is respectfully requested that the Complaint be dismissed, or that Plaintiff be ordered to file a more specific complaint. Respectfully submitted, By Dennis J.
