COUNT I
(Breach of Contract)
4. Plaintiff incorporates the allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 3 as if
ful!y rewritten herein,
5. Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a leasing contract ("Lease") wherein Plaintiff
leased Defendant an American Model 9310 Conventional Crawler Crane ("Crane") for
$45,000.00 over a three-month period, beginning April 14, 1999. A true and accurate copy of
the Lease is attached as Exhibit A.
6. The parties agreed that the Lease could be extended on a month-to-month basis at
the end of the three month period and Plaintiff eventually requested the use of the Crane for
several additional months.
7, In Paragraph 3 of the Lease, Defendant certified that "al! operators ofthe
Equipment Leased are ful!y experienced in the use of Equipment Leased and shall indemnify and
hold [Plaintiff] harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and/or causes of action, which
may arise out of such operator's negligent use ofthe Equipment Leased."
8. In Paragraph 9 ofthe Terms and Provisions of the Lease, Defendant agreed to
"reimburse [Plaintiff] for all losses and damages to Equipment Leased occasioned by fire, theft,
flood, accident, explosion, wreck or other cause that may occur during lease term."
9. In Paragraph 9, Defendant also agreed that "in the event of any loss or damage to
Equipment Leased rendering it unfit for use beyond the lease term, [Defendant] shall pay to
[Plaintiff] the value of the monthly rental as established by this Lease multiplied by the number
of months necessary to replace or repair Equipment Leased as liquidated damages."
"~IIiiilI""L""" "~^'-~''''~ -~"<,-",-- ,- ""'"""-"~ -"^" _ 0 --'~A1

10. In Paragraph 10 of the Lease, Defendant "agree[d] to pay [Plaintiff] its regular
charges for any material or labor furnished in making said repairs upon demand including the
cost of transporting [Plaintiff s] repairman to the job site. In the same paragraph, Defendant also
agreed to "continue to pay rent on Equipment Leased returned in a damaged condition."
11. In Paragraph 17 of the Lease, Plaintiff also agreed to pay "all rentals when they
are due and for all services and materials furnished and all damages and sums due [Plaintiff]
under this Lease as soon as the loss occurs or services are rendered or materials are furnished."
12. On May 24,1999, pursuant to the Lease, Plaintiff shipped the Crane to Plaintiff.
13. Defendant used the Crane on a month-to-month lease until the Crane was
completely destroyed by an employee of Defendant on September 2,1999.
14. Defendant, without any authorization from Plaintiff, stopped making rental
payments on the day of the accident and deducted $5,678.65 from the amount owed Plaintifffor
the rental period ending September 13,1999.
15. The day of the accident, Defendant called Plaintiff and requested that Plaintiff
send personnel to investigate the accident. On September 3,1999, Plaintiff sent one of its
personnel and an independent subcontractor to Pennsylvania to investigate the accident site and
assess the damage to the Crane.
16. Later than month, Plaintiff filed a claim with its insurance company for the
Crane's replacement value.
17. Defendant's insurance company ultimately settled with Plaintiff on December 6,
1999, when Plaintiff received payment for the replacement value of the Crane minus its salvage
value.

18. Following the receipt of payment by Defendant's insurance company, Plaintiff
invoked its rights under the Lease and demanded payment for the rent it lost during the period
from the destruction of the Crane to the receipt of the insurance check and for other services
provided under the Lease.
19. Defendant refused and continues to refuse to honor its contractual obligations
under the Lease by compensating Plaintiff for its lost rental payments.
20. Despite Defendant's agreement to pay Plaintifffor services rendered in a timely
manner, Defendant has refused and continues to refuse to comply with its contractual obligations
and pay Plaintifffor the $6116.58 in travel expenses and labor Plaintiff incurred in inspecting the
accident site at Defendant's request.
21. Pursuant to the Lease, Defendant also owes Plaintiff $53,378.65, excluding
interest, which is the value of the monthly rental in the Lease multiplied by the days the Crane
was unusable.
22. Plaintiff has complied with all of its contractual obligations under the Lease but
has yet to receive full payment for the services provided to Defendant and the lost rental
payments.
23. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's breaches of its contractual
obligations, Plaintiff has been damaged in the principal amount of$59,495.23, plus pre-judgment
and post-judgment interest as available under law.

COUNT II
(Account Stated)
24. Plaintiff incorporates the allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 23 as if
fully rewritten herein.
25. The invoices attached hereto as Exhibit B were sent to Defendant and constituted
an Account Stated, a large portion of which remains unpaid although duly demanded.
26. By reason of the aforesaid, Defendant owes Plaintiff the principal sum of
$59,495.23, plus interest, collection expenses, attorneys' fees and court costs until the date of
judgment herein.
COUNT ill
(Negligence)
27. Plaintiff incorporates the allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 26 above,
as if fully rewritten herein.
28. Defendant owed a contractual duty to Plaintiff to maintain the leased equipment
in the same condition as delivered by Plaintiff.
29. Defendant breached this duty of care to Plaintiff when one of its employees
destroyed the Crane on September 2,1999.
30. Due to this incident and the consequential inoperability of the Crane, Plaintiff
suffered damages due to its inability to lease this Crane and receive rental income for the time
period from the accident date until Plaintiff received a settlement check.
31. Plaintifflost $53,378.65 in rental income due to the loss of the use of the Crane.
32. Plaintiff also incurred unforeseen expenses due to Defendant's negligence when,

upon Defendant's request, it sent one of its employees and a subcontractor to the accident site to
examine and report on the Crane's operability.
33. This visit was necessary in order to assess the operability and salvage value of the
Crane.
34. Plaintiff incurred reasonable and necessary labor and travel expenses amounting
to $6,116.58, in sending these personnel to the accident site in Pennsylvania.
35. Defendant's actions were the proximate cause of these damages and it is entirely
responsible for the damages suffered by Plaintiff.
36. Based upon Defendant's negligence, Plaintiff has suffered damages in the
principal amount of$59,495.23, excluding interest.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, F&M Mafco, Inc., demands judgment against Defendant
Landis, Inc., on the claims set forth above, as follows:
A. For money judgment in the principal amount of $59,495.23;
B. That Plaintiff recover pre-judgment and post-judgment interest allowed by law;
and
C. That Plaintiff recover its costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, and such further relief
which this Court deems just and proper.

AND NOW comes the Defendant, by and through its attorney, Michael L. Bangs,
Esquire, and in support thereof files the following Preliminary Objections:
DEMURRER
1. Defendant demurs to Count I in that Exhibit A attached to Plaintiff s Complaint is not
the lease identified in the pleadings and is insufficient to form the basis for a breach of contract
under its terms.
2, Defendant demurs to Count II in that Count II fails to state a cause of action upon
which relief may be granted.
3. Defendant demurs to all claims in the Complaint requesting attorney's fees in that the
Complaint as a whole is legally insufficient to make out a claim for attorney's fees.
4. Defendant demurs to Count III in that Count III does not state a cause of action on the
basis of negligence, but rather states a cause of action on breach of contract.
5. Defendant demurs to the Complaint in that Plaintiff cannot claim liquidated damages
and consequential damages as alternative re]]ef.
INSUFFICIENT SPECIFICITY
1. Defendant objects to Count II ofthe Complaint in that it lacks sufficient specificity to
state a cause of action on which Defendant may form a proper defense.

19. Defendant received $10,000.00 from its insurance company for lost rental
payments.
20. Following payment by the insurance company, Plaintiff invoked its rights

provided under the Lease,
COUNT I
(BREACH OF CONTRACT)
21. The foregoing paragraphs are incorporated by reference.
22. Defendant refused and continues to refuse to honor its contractual
obligations under the Lease.
23. Pursuant to the Lease, Defendant owes Plaintiff, as liquidated damages,
the value of the monthly rental under the Lease from the date the Crane was rendered
unusable until the date it could be reasonably repaired or replaced.
24. Plaintiff has complied with all of its contractual obligations under the
Lease but has yet to receive full payment under the agreed upon liquidated damages
provision.
25. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's breaches of its contractual
obligations, Plaintiff is entitled to liquidated damages in an amount not less than
$65,000.00, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest as available under law, with
the exact amount to be proven at trial.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff F&M Mafco, Inc. demands judgment in its favor in an

interest, (iii) attorney fees and expenses and (iv) such other relief as is just, together
with the taxable costs of this action.
COUNT II
(UNJUST ENRICHMENT)
26. Plaintiff incorporates the foregoing paragraphs of this complaint.
27. Benefits have been conferred upon Defendant by way of its enjoyment of
services requested by Defendant and provided by Plaintiff in inspecting the Crane
following the accident and advising Defendant on how to resolve the problem.
28. Retention of these benefits under the circumstances would be unjust and
inequitable without payment to Plaintiff for the value of such benefits.
29, Defendant has derived unjust benefits and continues to derive such
benefits from its enjoyment of the services provided by Plaintiff without payment to
Plaintiff and in place of Defendant's use of inspection services for which it would be
required to pay an amount equal to $6,116.58.
30. Defendant, without any authorization from Plaintiff, stopped making rental
payments on the day of the accident and then deducted $5,678.65 from the amount
owed Plaintiff for the rental period ending September 13,1999.
31. Defendant has been unjustly enriched and profited at the expense of
Plaintiff and has accepted and retained the benefits of the Plaintiff's services but has
not paid Plaintiff despite the fact that in justice and equity it should pay for the benefits
which it requested and bestowed upon it by the retention and enjoyment of Plaintiff's
services.

and costs.

IN RE: PRELIMINARY OBJECTION OF DEFENDANT TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT

OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
Bayley, J., August 23, 2001 :--
On April 14, 1999, plaintiff, F&M Mafco, Inc., leased a crane to defendant,
Landis, Inc. The crane was sent to defendant in Mt. Holly Springs, Cumberland
County, where it was used by defendant in its commercial steel erection and fabrication
business. Plaintiff is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the written lease provides that the
rights and obligations thereunder are governed by the laws of the state of Ohio. On
September 2,1999, when the crane was being operated by an employee of defendant,
it was destroyed in an accident. Defendant paid plaintiff for the crane less its salvage
value. Plaintiff demanded liquidated damages under paragraph 9 of its lease, which
provides:
[i]n the event of any loss or damage to the Equipment Leased rendering it
unfit for use beyond the lease term, Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the
value of the monthly rental as established by this Lease multiplied by the
number of months necessary to replace or repair Equipment Leased as
liquidated damages.
'Ii'" . . , ~.' 0" "n, '~--"--'", ' "d,; . ~'--n
01-1013 CIVIL TERM
Defendant refused to pay liquidated damages under paragraph 9, so plaintiff
instituted this suit for such damages. In addition, plaintiff seeks attorney fees under
paragraph 11 of the lease, which provides:
Indemnification. The Lessee further agrees to indemnify the
Lessor against all loss, damage, expense, including reasonable
attorney's fees, and penalty arising from any action on account of any
injury to person or property of any character whatsoever occasioned
by the operation, handling, or transportation of EqUipment Leased
during the rental period and while in the possession or under the
custody and control of lessee. (Emphasis added.)
Defendant filed a demurer to plaintiffs claim for counsel fees. The issue was briefed
and argued on July 25, 2001.
A demurer will only be sustained where a complaint is clear and sufficient to
establish the pleader's right to relief. COllnty of Allegheny v. Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, 507 Pa. 360 (1985). The Ohio Supreme Court has held that contractual
provisions for attorney fees to be enforceable under Ohio law absent a showing of
unequal bargaining positions between the parties, misunderstanding, deception or
duress. Nottingdale Homeowners' Assn., Inc. v. Darby, 514 N.E.2d 702 (1987). In
the present case, defendant argues in its brief:
The purpose of the indemnification clause is to indemnify Mafco in the
event of a claim by a third party against Mafco for damages that arise out
of the operation of the leased equipment by Landis. If Mafco were sued
by a third party for some act or occurrence while the property was under
the control of Landis, then Landis would have the responsibility to
indemnify Mafco for any loss, damage, or expense, including reasonable
attorney's fees, Mafco incurred as a result of that claim.
That may be. However, paragraph 11 of the lease requires that defendant
-2-

-^' < . ~ ,",-..,,~^," .-, '-'~ Al
01-1013 CIVIL TERM
indemnify plaintiff for all loss, including reasonable attorney's fees arising from any
action on account of alllY injury to property of any character whatsoever
occasioned by the handling of the crane while in the possession of Lessee. The
words "any action" and "property of any character whatsoever" in the indemnification
provision does not limit a recovery of attorney's fees to third party claims. It can include
injury to the crane. We are satisfied that if plaintiff, based on the destruction of the
crane by defendant, recovers liquidated damages under paragraph 9 of the lease, it is
entitled to reasonable attorney's fees under paragraph 11 to collect the loss.
Accordingly, defendant's demurer must be dismissed.
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 2~ay of August, 2001, defendant's preliminary
objection to plaintiffs complaint, IS DISMISSED.
