("Wilhelm & Kruse"), by and through its undersigned counsel, Blumling & Gusky, LLP, and files the following Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs Complaint Including an Objection to Venue in the above-captioned matter, and in support thereof states as follows: BACKGROUND FACTS 1. On or about June 19, 2001, Plaintiff initiated the above-captioned lawsuit by filing a Complaint against Wilhelm & Kruse. 2. In its Complaint, Plaintiff sets forth an action in assumpsit against Wilhelm & Kruse. 3. In response to Plaintiffs Complaint, Wilhelm & Kruse files the following Preliminary Objections. {20043.03/253861 :} , '-~ ' "" ',. --,. . ~ c ~'"-""r,-" ~.- --, "'-;_'-, .. .,,'__~_ -,,,- ~..... -- "'-,-.<,,;~ ,-'.",~,--,,,,,~ _"'H~' ' t-~: FIRST PRELIMINARY OBJECTION: PLAINTIFF'S CAUSE OF ACTION MUST BE TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO PA. R. CIV. P.I006(e) DUE TO IMPROPER VENUE 4. All of the foregoing paragraphs are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. 5. Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure l028(a)(1), a preliminary objection may be asserted for improper venue. 6. The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure clearly set forth the grounds upon which venue is proper for claims brought against corporate defendants. See Pa. R. Civ. P. 2179(a). 7. Under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, venue in this cause of action is not proper in Cumberland County. 8. Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2179(a), venue is improper in this County for all claims raised by Plaintiff against Wilhelm & Kruse. 9. Rule 2179(a) clearly sets forth the necessary elements required to establish proper venue against a corporate defendant such as Wilhelm & Kruse: A personal action against a corporation. . . may be brought in and only in (1) the county where its registered office or principal place of business is located; (2) a county where it regularly conducts business; (3) the county where the cause of action arose; or (4) a county where a transaction or occurrence took place out of which the cause of action arose. 2 {20043.03!253861: } - - _~<_' -'_ < n, , _""'0< ,', J', o''''"o<..",''~,k-'"' .' ,_-",-, '.;hi. .""~L,\-" _, ., '-r'~- 10. Plaintiff cannot establish venue under Rule 2179(a). II. Wilhelm & Kruse does not, and never did, have its registered office or principal place of business in Cumberland County. 12. Wilhelm & Kruse does not, and never has, regularly conduct( eel) its business in Cumberland County. 13. Furthermore, Plaintiff's cause of action against Wilhelm & Kruse did not arise in Cumberland County, nor can Plaintiff assert any facts to the contrary. 14. Also, no transaction or occurrence took place in Cumberland County out of which Plaintiff s causes of action against Wilhelm & Kruse allegedly arose. 15. Plaintiff attempts to establish proper venue in this County by alleging that an Application for Account was approved by Plaintiff in this County. 16. However, Wilhelm & Kruse never contacted Plaintiff in Cumberland County, and at no time did any relevant transaction or occurrence take place between Plaintiff and Wilhelm & Kruse in Cumberland County. 17. The allegation that Plaintiff may have, for its own business purposes, chosen to approve the Application for Account in an office that just happens to be in Cumberland County and at an office which Wilhelm & Kruse never conducted or transacted business with Plaintiff is insufficient to establish venue in this County. 18. Therefore, Plaintiff has improperly filed its Complaint against Wilhelm & Kruse in this Court due to its lack of jurisdiction. 19. Proper venue, if any, under the facts of this case is in Allegheny County, where Wilhelm & Kruse maintains its registered office and principal place of business. 3 {20043.03/253861: } ^- . , ~ , -",,'" ""-- ",' ""-, "c.--,~ '-ii';.,;. -,; '.." < '-'",,' ",:, jj~ii.:(llliij}", 20. Therefore, Plaintiffs cause of action must be removed from Cumberland County and transferred to Allegheny County at Plaintiff s own expense. See Pa. R. Civ. P. 1 006( e). WHEREFORE, Defendant, Wilhem & Kruse, Inc., respectfully requests that this Honorable Court order Plaintiff s cause of action be removed from this Court and transferred to the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County due to improper venue, and order Plaintiff to pay all costs and fees associated with said removal and transfer, and further requests that this Court grant all such other and further relief as may be just and necessary. SECOND PRELIMINARY OBJECTION: PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT MUST BE DISMISSED FOR LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY 21. All of the foregoing paragraphs are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. 22. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1028(a)(4) authorizes the assertion ofa preliminary objection, in the form a demurrer, based upon the legal insufficiency of a pleading. 23. Plaintiffs claims allegedly arise from the sale of materials to Wilhelm & Kruse. 24. To support its claims, Plaintiff attaches an Application for Account, which identifies Wilhelm & Kruse as the applicant. See Complaint, ~~ 3, 4 and 8, and Exhibit "A" attached thereto. 25. The Application for Account does not specifically identify any materials that were allegedly sold to Wilhelm & Kruse, nor does Plaintiff allege that the Application for Account identifies any such materials. See Complaint, Exhibit" A" . 26. Rather, Plaintiff attaches a Statement of Account allegedly setting forth amounts due to Plaintiff from Wilhelm & Kruse for materials allegedly sold to Wilhelm & Kruse. See Complaint, ~ 7, and Exhibit "B" attached thereto. 4 (20043.03/253861: ) ~', '~~"",- ,~,,'~,-. ,~-- "~-",<-"-,,'" ". ',__"~,i",,,,';-t"""'"'''''' i" "~ '=<i:l' 27. The Statement of Account attached to the Complaint is merely a summary of invoices; however, the invoices identified on the Statement of Account are not attached to the Complaint. 28. The Statement of Account does not identify Wilhelm & Kruse as the entity allegedly owing a balance due to Plaintiff for materials allegedly sold. 29. Rather, the Statement of Account identifies Metal Processing of America as the entity allegedly owing a balance due to Plaintiff. 30. Wilhelm & Kruse and Metal Processing of America are separate and distinct entities, and are not responsible for each other's liabilities. 31. The Statement of Account attached to the Complaint as Exhibit "B", which Plaintiff relies upon in establishing its alleged cause of action against Wilhelm & Kruse, wholly fails to support any claim against Wilhelm & Kruse, as it identifies Metal Processing of America, not Wilhelm & Kruse, as the entity allegedly owing a balance due to Plaintiff. 32. Therefore, Plaintiffs Complaint is devoid of any evidence supporting its claims against Wilhelm & Kruse. 33. In fact, the Complaint as stated, along with the exhibits attached thereto, identify an entity unrelated to Wilhelm & Kruse as having been invoiced for the materials alleged in the Complaint. 34. Accordingly, Plaintiffs Complaint must be dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim against Wilhelm & Kruse. WHEREFORE, Defendant, Wilhelm & Kruse, Inc., respectfully requests that this Honorable Court dismiss, with prejudice, Plaintiffs Complaint, and that this Court issue all such other and further relief as may be just and necessary. 5 {20043.03/253861 :} .e. , , ~" _"<'" - ." -J', ~,;~ ,', ' -0'" ]'," ,;, ,c - "";,i- "i':'-, -~~> ,y'._ ,: . --:_'"",;:"~ ,", ""1.H-' THIRD PRELIMINARY OBJECTION: PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT MUST BE STRICKEN FOR FAILURE TO CONFORM TO PENNSYLVANIA RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE l019(h) 35. All of the foregoing paragraphs are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. 36. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1028(a)(2) provides for a preliminary objection, in the form of a motion to strike, based upon a party's failure to conform its pleading to law or rule of court. 37. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1019(h) requires that "[w]hen any claim or defense is based upon an agreement, the pleading shall state specifically if the agreement is oral or written." 38. Plaintiffs claims are based upon an alleged agreement or agreements between Plaintiff and Wilhelm & Kruse for the sale of materials; however, Plaintiff failed to identify the alleged agreement or agreements as oral or written as required by Rule 1019(h). 39. Plaintiff's Complaint simply identifies an Application for Account, but does not identify the subsequent agreement or agreements upon which Plaintiff allegedly provided materials to Wilhelm & Kruse. 40. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Complaint must be stricken based upon Plaintiffs violation of Rule 1019(h). WHEREFORE, Defendant, Wilhelm & Kruse, Inc., respectfully requests that this Honorable Court sustain its Preliminary Objection pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1028(a)(2) and strike Plaintiffs Complaint for failure to conform to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1019(h), or, in the alternative, order Plaintiffto file an amended pleading 6 {20043.03/25386L} ,-,,< ~. . ,',j,:" ,,~ ~..'-, ;,'"'~'" o~",~~"-, ::';"ho'~~~~~""'kl)",;'-",; ~- ",~ ';Jiir~iim.,iii"r by which it properly alleges the existence of an oral or written agreement between the parties, tII1d that this Court issue all such other tII1d further relief as may be just and necessary. FOURTH PRELIMINARY OBJECTION: PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT MUST BE STRICKEN FOR FAILURE TO ATTACH WRITINGS 41. All of the foregoing paragraphs are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. 42. PennsylvtlI1ia Rule of Civil Procedure I028(a)(2) provides for a preliminary objection, in the form of a motion to strike, based upon a party's failure to conform its pleading to law or rule of court. 43. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure IOI9(i) requires that: When any claim or defense is based upon a writing, the pleader shall attach a copy of the writing, or the material part thereof, but if the writing or copy is not accessible to the pleader, it is sufficient so to state, together with the reason, and to set forth the substance in writing. 44. Under PennsylvtlI1ia law, a plaintiffs failure to attach relevtlI1t copies of contract documents violates Rule 10 I9(i) and prevents a defendtlI1t from preparing a defense. 45. In Plaintiffs Complaint, it is alleged that Wilhelm & Kruse failed to pay for materials as set forth in the Statement of Account. See Complaint, " 4, 5 tII1d 7, and Exhibit "B" attached thereto. 46. The Statement of Account attached to the Complaint sets forth the amount allegedly owed by Wilhelm & Kruse and references all of the documents or invoices allegedly supporting the alleged amount due. 7 {20043.03/253861: } ~=~. ~ ~- ~,,"~,. '.~ '" -b" -',","'h-'., - , ;;;'", ~'" ,",-,., ".' ";: ..-~ 47. The Statement of Account refers to at least eleven (II) documents or invoices that are not attached to the Complaint and which allegedly support Plaintiffs claim for amounts due to Plaintifffrom Wilhelm & Kruse. 48. The documents that Plaintifffailed to attach to the Complaint are particularly important due to the evidence set forth on the Statement of Account that indicates that the materials were provided to Metal Processing of America, an entity distinct from Wilhelm & Kruse. 49. Despite its reliance upon the documents and invoices set forth in Exhibit "B", Plaintiff did not attach all such documents and invoices to the Complaint. 50. Without all of the documents referenced in the Complaint and, specifically, Exhibit "B", Wilhelm & Kruse has no way to determine which documents Plaintiff is referring to or whether or not Wilhelm & Kruse actually received any such documents or invoices, or received the alleged materials from Plaintiff. 51. Furthermore, Wilhelm & Kruse has no way to determine any terms or conditions that may be set forth upon the documents and invoices that are not attached to the Complaint. 52. Therefore, due to Plaintiff's failure to attach all of the documents referenced in its Complaint and Exhibit "B", Wilhelm & Kruse cannot adequately prepare defenses to Plaintiff's claims. 53. To properly respond to Plaintiffs Complaint, it is necessary that Plaintiff attach all of the alleged documents and invoices to its Complaint. 54. To the extent that Plaintiff alleges and relies upon the documents and invoices referenced in its Complaint and Exhibit "B", Rule 10 19(i) requires Plaintiff to attach the alleged documents to its Complaint or to state a reason for the inaccessibility of those documents. 8 (20043.03/253861: ) ~ ,,' , ~ '"~ ,- ' - '-~'" ,~ '^ ~', -, . _ _,,_ '"~'O-".--""'Om,' ,,0-, ''''.'':;'' _" '. , -0 'rl!:,,-, 55. However, despite Plaintiff's allegations set forth in its Complaint, Plaintiff failed to attach all ofthe referenced documents and invoices, or to state a reason for the inaccessibility of the documents and invoices that are not attached to its Complaint. 56. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Complaint must be stricken based upon Plaintiff's violation of Rule 1019(i). WHEREFORE, Defendant, Wilhelm & Kruse, Inc., respectfully requests that this Honorable Court sustains its Preliminary Objection pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1028(a)(2) and strike Plaintiff's Complaint for failure to conform with Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1019(i), or, in the alternative, order Plaintiff to file an amended pleading and attach all written instruments upon which Plaintiff relies, along with all such other and further relief as may be just and necessary. FIFTH PRELIMINARY OBJECTION: PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT MUST BE STRICKEN FOR FAILURE TO PLEAD WITH SUFFICIENT SPECIFICITY 57. All of the foregoing paragraphs are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth. 58. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1028(a)(3) authorizes the assertion of a Preliminary Objection, in the nature of a motion to strike, for a party's failure to plead with sufficient specificity. 59. Furthermore, pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1019, a complaint must plead sufficient facts to allow a defendant to prepare its defenses to a complaint. 60. Plaintiff alleges in Paragraph 4 of the Complaint that "Plaintiff subsequently sold materials to [Wilhelm & Kruse]". 9 {20043.031253861: } ,_.k~ ~ "~, ,- "'v..'~" ^C'__" '-'.-; , .;-, , ' "",' ",;. - ': ,'La-~" ~:" ~'_",' "C -"~ """ '" ,"ciiei ""',,w'('i --, ~Il;,'is) 61. Throughout the Complaint, Plaintiff generally references materials allegedly sold to Wilhelm & Kruse, but fails to specifically identify any such materials. See Complaint, '1['1[4, 5, 6 and 7. 62. Also, both exhibits attached to the Complaint fail to specifically identify any materials whatsoever. See Complaint, Exhibits "A" and "B". 63. In short, Plaintiff fails to specifically allege what materials it allegedly sold to Wilhelm & Kruse. 64. Without specifically identifying the materials allegedly sold to Wilhelm & Kruse, it is impossible for Wilhelm & Kruse to determine whether it purchased or received such materials. 65. By only vaguely pleading that "materials" were sold to Wilhelm & Kruse, Plaintiff pleads its allegations without sufficient specificity. 66. Plaintiff's Complaint fails to specifically identify the materials allegedly sold and, therefore, Plaintiff fails to plead its cause of action sufficiently to allow Wilhelm & Kruse to prepare its defenses to the Complaint. 67. Accordingly, Plaintiffs Complaint must be stricken based upon Plaintiffs failure to comply with Rule 1028(a)(3). WHEREFORE, Defendant, Wilhelm & Kruse, Inc., respectfully requests that this Honorable Court strike Plaintiffs Complaint based upon Plaintiffs failure to comply with Rule 1028(a)(3)'s specificity requirement, or, in the alternative, Plaintiff must be required to file an 10 (20043.03/253861: } , " ,.,~ ,'_'" - ' ,,- _'. ~ ' '--',", _ "-,,,.
