Barrick (attorney's fees) Counterclaim Plaintiff, Greg Myers, incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth in their entirety, his answers to paragraphs 1-21 of the Amended Complaint. 2. The original Complaint alleged an oral contract for the construction of a carport at the home of Counterclaim Defendant, Shirley A. Barrick (hereinafter, "Barrick"). 3. At her deposition on April 8, 2008, Barrick testified that there never was an oral agreement for the construction of such a carport. Indeed, her testimony indicated that Counterclaim Plaintiff never gave her a price for such a project. 4. At this deposition, Barrick admitted that she had signed a Verification knowing that the pleading as to the carport was not accurate. 5. As a result, Defendant Myers was relegated to expending funds for his attorney to answer allegations the Counterclaim Defendant knew were not true. 6. As a consequence, Counterclaim Defendant Barrick filed an Amended Complaint. 7. In seeking undersigned counsel's permission to file an Amended Complaint without leave of court, Barrick's counsel represented that the allegations as to the carport were to be removed from the Amended Complaint. 8. In fact, this did not occur. Instead, Barrick has inserted verbatim Counts I-IV from the original Complaint at pages 7-12, ¶¶ 46-69 of the Amended Complaint (see copy of Amended Complaint appended to this Answer With Counterclaim). 9. In doing so, Barrick has continued to pursue a claim which, by her own admission under oath, plainly lacks legal merit. 10. As a result, Counterclaim Plaintiff is entitled to an award of attorney's fees and costs, pursuant to 42 Pa. C.S.§2503(9), for both requiring Myers to answer the portion of the original Complaint relating to the carport, as well as being relegated to repeat this exercise in answering an amended complaint which contained counts Barrick knew lacked legal merit. 11. The amended pleading filed by Barrick is sloppy, was obviously never proof-read, contains boiler-plate assertions, and intended to harass and to annoy Myers. WHEREFORE, Counterclaim Plaintiff requests the entry of an award of attorney's fees and costs, pursuant to the cited provisions of the Judiciary Code. Respectfully submitted, J n M. Kerr, Esquire 1. 15. # 26414 Law Office of John M.
