NO. 2003-4408 CIVIL TERM
RESPONSE OF DA WOOD ENGINEERING. INC. TO
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF BS&T LABS, INC.
AND NOW, comes Counterplaintiff, Dawood Engineering, Inc., by and through
its attorneys, Reidenbach, Henderson & Pecht, and respectfully makes the following
response to Counterdefendant's Preliminary Objections:
L Admitted.
2. No answer required inasmuch as the allegations in paragraph 2 state a
conclusion of law to which no response is required. To the extent an answer is required,
the same is Denied. To the contrary, Counterplaintiff can recover because, inter alia,
Counterdefendant accepted the services provided by Counterplaintiff. Strict proof
otherwise is demanded at the time of hearing on this matter.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Denied. To the contrary, Counterplaintiff believes, and therefore avers,
that the document speaks for itself; that even if the invoices were mailed to Mr. Joe
Mehalick that fact alone does not relieve Counterdefendant of its obligation to pay the
avers, that COUllterdefendant is the appropriate party from which to seek collection of the
invoices, and COUllterplaintiff will prove the same at trial.
IDD DP ·
invoices as Counterplaintiff at all times was led to believe that it was performing services
for Mr. Joe Mehalick's company; and, if Joe Mehalick owns B. S. & T Labs, Inc., the
invoices were properly sent to the correct individual, but perhaps listed the wrong
company name. It is a question of fact to be determined at trial whether the
Counterdefendant is liable for the charges. Counterdefendant and its owner cannot use
misrepresentations or legal entity confusion to defeat a claim. Strict proof otherwise is
demanded at the time of hearing on this matter.
6. No answer required inasmuch as the allegations in Paragraph 6 state a
conclusion of law to which no response is required. To the extent an answer may be
required, the same is denied. To the contrary, Counterplaintiff has no way of knowing
the identity of the principal corporate officer of Borings, Soils & Testing Co. Strict proof
otherwise is demanded at the time of hearing on this matter.
7. Denied. To the contrary, Counterplaintiffbelieves, and therefore avers,
that although the two entities may appear to be separate corporate entities, they are not
separate and distinct, and Mr. Joe Mehalick has operated them as one in the same. Mr.
Mehalick cannot use this deception to avoid liabilities. 1n fact, Mr. Mehalick provided
information relating to Counterdefendant. BS & T Labs, on letterhead of Boring, Soils, &
Testing Co. A true and correct copy of the same is attached hereto, incorporated herein
by reference as if set forth at length, and marked Exhibit "A".
8. Admitted.
9. No answer required inasmuch as the allegations in Paragraph 9 state a
conclusion of law to which no response is required. To the extent an answer may be
required. the same is denied. To the contrary. Counterplaintiffbelieves, and therefore
2
avers, that Counterdefendant is the appropriate party from which to seek collection of the
invoices, and Counterplaintiff will prove the same at trial.
WHEREFORE, Coutnerplaintiff, Dawood Engineering, Inc., respectfully requests
this Honorable Court to dismiss Counterdefendant, B,S & T Lab's, Inc. Preliminary
Objections.
