JOSEPH M. THOMPSON and TRACY
L. THOMPSON, husband and wife,
Defendants CIVIL ACTION - LAW
ANSWER
AND NOW, comes the Defendants, Joseph M. Thompson and Tracy L. Thompson,
husband and wife, by and through their attorneys, SALZMANN HUGHES, P.C., and files
this ANSWER to the Plaintiff s Complaint and avers as follows:
1. Admitted upon information and believe.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that a closing was held on May
25th, and that the subject property was transferred to the Plaintiff at the purchase price of
$170,000.00. It is specifically denied that the closing took place in the year 3006. To the
contrary, the closing took place in the year 2006.
7. Admitted.
8. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that the Owner's Affidavit
contains Paragraph 4 pertaining to notices issued by Municipalities. To the extent that this
paragraph attempts to paraphrase the Owner's Affidavit it is denied. As a written document,
the Owner's Affidavit speaks for itself and must be read in the context of the entire document.
9. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Owner's Affidavit was signed by the
Defendants when the Defendants knew or reasonably should have known, that the affirmation
was false. To the contrary, the Defendants signed the Owner's Affidavit at a time when the
Municipality had verbally agreed that the Municipality would not require the Defendants to
connect the existing structure to the new sanitary sewer main.
10. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendants made any representations
in the Owner's Affidavit with the intent of misleading the Plaintiff into relying upon the
representations. It is also specifically denied that there were misrepresentations made in the
Owner's Affidavit. Furthermore, it is specifically denied that the Defendants made any willful
misrepresentations whatsoever. To the contrary, the Plaintiff knew or should have known that
the Municipality had installed a new sanitary sewer main along the roadway in front of the
subject property. Also the Plaintiff knew or should have known that the Municipality had
informed the Defendants that it would not be necessary for the Defendants to connect the
existing structure to the new sanitary sewer main.
11. Denied. To the extent that the allegations contained in this paragraph are
conclusions of law, no responsive pleading is required under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
2
Procedure and the same are therefore denied. By way of further response, the Defendant
incorporates its responses to paragraphs 9 and 10 above, and 13 and 14 below, by reference as
if fully set forth.
12. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendants received a notice from the
Solicitor for the South Middleton Township Municipal Authority indicating that legal action
would be taken against Defendants if it did not immediately take steps to connect the septic
for the real property to the sanitary sewer service installed by the Authority. Furthermore,
after a reasonable investigation, the Defendants are without sufficient information or
knowledge to either admit or deny the allegations in this paragraph and they are therefore
denied. Strict proof thereof is demanded at time of trial. By way of further response, the
Defendant incorporates its responses to paragraphs 9 and 10 above, and paragraphs 13 and 14
below, by reference as if fully set forth.
13. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that the Defendants received the
subject letter from the Authority on June 13, 2005. It is specifically denied that the Authority
ever attempted to enforce the terms of the letter. To the contrary, the subject property was
sold on May 25, 2006. The Authority took no action to enforce the terms of the June 13, 2005
letter for almost an entire year because the Defendants and the Authority had reached an
agreement that it would not be necessary to connect the existing structure to the new sewer
main. But rather, the Municipal Authority instructed the Defendants to pay the Tapping Fee
($4,600.00), and to begin paying the quarterly minimum water ($35.00) and sewer ($66.00)
bills. The Defendants paid the Tapping Fee and began paying the quarterly minimum water
and sewer bills, and the Municipal Authority verbally agreed to not enforce the terms of the
June 13, 2005 letter pending the sale of the subject. Furthermore, the Plaintiff knew or should
3
have known all of the above. See also, the Defendants' responses to paragraphs 9,10 and 12
above, and paragraph 14 below, by reference as if fully set forth.
14. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendants did not disclose to the
Plaintiff that the Defendants received the June 13, 2005 letter containing the Municipal
Authority's Notice to connect to the new sewer main. To the contrary, the Plaintiff told the
Defendants that the Plaintiff received the same June 13, 2005 letter at two of the Plaintiff's
adjacent properties. By way of further response, to the extent that the allegations contained in
this paragraph are conclusions of law, no responsive pleading is required under the
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure and the same are therefore denied. Furthermore, it is
specifically denied that any of the actions of the Defendants were acts of intentional
concealment calculated to deceive the Plaintiff. By way of further response, the Defendants
incorporate the Defendants responses to paragraphs 9, 10, 12, and 13 above by reference as if
fully set forth.
15. Denied. After reasonable investigation the Defendants are without knowledge
or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the averments in this paragraph and
the same are therefore denied. Furthermore, to the extent that the averments contained in this
paragraph are conclusions of law, no responsive pleading is required under the Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure and the same are therefore denied. By way of further response, the
averment of special damages in this paragraph lacks sufficient specificity to apprise the
Defendants of the issues to be litigated, to allow them to adequately prepare and assert
defenses to Plaintiff s allegations, and/or to identify and join any potentially responsible
parties as additional defendants, all in violation of Pa. R.C.P. 1019(f).
16. Incorporation paragraph, no response required.
4
17. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendants failed to disclose the
necessity of connecting the real property to the sewer line installed by the Authority. To the
contrary, the Defendants incorporate the Defendants responses to paragraphs 9, 10, 12, 13 and
14 above by reference as if fully set forth.
18. Denied. It is specifically denied that there was any failure to disclose.
Furthermore, to the extent that the averments contained in this paragraph are conclusions of
law, no responsive pleading is required under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure and
the same are therefore denied. By way of further response, the Defendants incorporate the
Defendants responses to paragraphs 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 above by reference as if fully set
forth.
19. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendants made any affirmative
misrepresentations to the Plaintiff. To the contrary, the Defendants incorporate the Defendants
responses to paragraphs 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 above by reference as if fully set forth.
20. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendants made a representation that
"no work had been ordered to be done." Furthermore, to the extent that this paragraph
attempts to paraphrase the Owner's Affidavit, it is denied. As a written document, the
Owner's Affidavit speaks for itself and must be read in the context of the entire document.
Additionally, to the extent that the averments contained in this paragraph are conclusions of
law, no responsive pleading is required under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure and
the same are therefore denied. By way of further response, and to the contrary, the Defendants
incorporate the Defendants responses to paragraphs 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 above by reference as
if fully set forth.
5
21. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendants made any affirmative
misrepresentations. Furthermore, to the extent that this paragraph attempts to paraphrase the
Owner's Affidavit it is denied. As a written document, the Owner's Affidavit speaks for itself
and must be read in the context of the entire document. Additionally, to the extent that the
averments contained in this paragraph are conclusions of law, no responsive pleading is
required under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure and the same are therefore denied.
By way of further response, and to the contrary, the Defendants incorporate the Defendants

defendants, all in violation of Pa. R.C.P. 1019(f).
WHEREFORE, the Defendants respectfully request that this Court dismiss the
Plaintiff's Complaint with prejudice, enter judgment in favor of the Defendants, and award
6
the Defendants monetary damages that include costs, attorney's fees, interest, and punitive
damages, and any other remedy as this Court deems just.
