TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
TO: Sherriff Window Coverings Inc.
c/o Richard S. Friedman, Esquire
Friedman & King, P.C.
3820 Market Street
Camp Hill, PA 17011
NOTICE TO PLEAD
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED TO FILE A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO THE ENCLOSED
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS WITHIN TWENTY (20) DAYS FROM SERVICE HEREOF
OR A JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST YOU.
MOTION TO STRIKE PARAGRAPH 8 OF COMPLAINT
Plaintiff's Complaint seeks attorney fees and costs as outlined in paragraph 8.
2. Plaintiff's Complaint states that Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a verbal
contract on or about March 14, 2007.
3. Attorney fees and costs are not recoverable in a verbal contract.
4. The general rule is that parties to litigation are responsible for their own counsel
fees, unless otherwise provided by statutory authority, agreement of the parties or some other
recognized exception. Cher-Rob, Inc. v. Art Monument Co. 406 Pa. Super. 330, 594 A.2d 362,
363 (1991), Chatham Communications, Inc. v. General Press Corporation, 463 Pa. 292, 300 -
301, 344 A.2d 837, 842 (1975), Shapiro v. Magaziner, 418 Pa. 278, 280, 210 A.2d 890, 892
(1965).
WHEREFORE, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a) (2) (a) (4) Plaintiff's Complaint
request for attorney fees and costs should be stricken for pleading an amount of legal fees
and costs when the verbal contract has no attorney fees and costs component to the contract.
MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT
On February 15, 2008 a complaint was filed by the Plaintiff.
6. The complaint's verification is executed by counsel for the plaintiff and not an
employee or officer of the corporate plaintiff.
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1024 requires that any pleading containing
an Averment of fact must be verified by a party.
8. The only exception to this requirement is if the party is outside the jurisdiction of
the court and the verification cannot be obtained within the time allowed for filing the pleading.
See Pa. R.C.P. 1024 (c).
9. As a general rule a "party's pleading may not be verified by that party's attorney."
See Signora v. Kaplan, 33 Pa. D. & C. 4t" 219 at 222 (1996) citing 4 Standard Pa. Practice 2d,
Chapter 21 § 21:29 and Monroe Contract Corporation v. Harrison Square, Inc., 266 Pa. Super.
549, 405 A.2d 954 (1979).
10. In the present case, there is no legitimate reason why counsel for the Plaintiff is
verifying the complaint when there is no pressing deadline for filing this initial complaint.
Simply verifying the complaint as a matter of convenience is not proper under the Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff s complaint fails to conform to Pa. R.C.P. 1024(a) and must be
stricken or the Plaintiff must file an Amended Complaint with a proper verification.
