I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY
I. Pursuant to a Rule to File Complaint, Plaintiffs filed a Complaint on or about February
22,2002. A copy of Plaintiffs' Complaint is attached hereto, made a part hereof, and marked as
Exhibit "A."
2. In their Complaint, Plaintiffs allege that on or about December 8, 1999, Boscov's
personnel observed a theft of certain wares and/or merchandise from the premises by Kenneth E.
Cline (Paragraph 10 of Plaintiffs' Complaint).
3. Plaintiffs further allege that on the morning of December 9, 1999, Plaintiff, James W.
Deffenbaugh, was Christmas shopping at Boscov's (paragraph 12 of Plaintiffs' Complaint); that
on or about December 9,1999, Mr. Cline returned to Boscov's (Paragraph 14 of Plaintiffs'
Complaint); that Boscov's personnel attempted to apprehend Mr. Cline (Paragraph 15 of
Plaintiffs' Complaint); that during the attempted apprehension, Boscov's personnel requested the
assistance from other business invitees and other personnel (Paragraph 24 of Plaintiffs'
Complaint); that Mr. Deffenbaugh attempted to and did cause the apprehension ofMr. Cline
(paragraph 22 of Plaintiffs' Complaint); and that Mr. Deffenbaugh suffered certain personal
injuries as a result of his attempt to apprehend Mr. Cline.
3. Based upon the aforementioned allegations, Plaintiffs attempt to assert three theories of
recovery set forth in three counts against Boscov's. Specifically, in Count One, Plaintiffs assert a
breach of contract and declaratory judgment claim, based upon Boscov's gratuitous payments of
certain medical bills incurred by Mr. Deffenbaugh.
4. In Count Two, Plaintiffs allege that Boscov's was negligent in the following respects:
a. failing to properly supervise its agents and/or employees so that
they would not create the dangerous condition;
b. Permitting the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline to enter upon the
premises for the reasons stated herein;
c. failing to apprehend the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline on
December 8, 1999, or prior to or immediately upon his re-entry
onto the premises on December 9,1999;
d. failing to have sufficient security or other personnel or law
enforcement present so as to prevent the flight by the aforesaid
Kenneth E. Cline;
e. failing to properly supervise its agents and/or employees so that
they would prevent the entry upon the premises or the flight by
the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline;

from the premises before his flight and collision with Plaintiff,
James W. Deffenbaugh;
g. creating or allowing such a dangerous condition to exist on
December 9,1999;
h. permitting a dangerous condition to exist when Defendants
knew, could have known, had reason to know or should have
known that Plaintiff, James W. Deffenbaugh or other like him
would be subjected to the hazard or danger;
1. failing to exercise control in such a manner so as to prevent the
dangerous condition from existing or continuing;
J. failing to properly train their agents and/or employees so as to
prevent the occurrence of dangerous conditions, including the
dangerous condition that caused Plaintiff, James W.
Deffenbaugh's, injuries;
k. failing to wam of the dangerous condition that existed;
1. failing to have adequate supervising personnel present on the
day in questions; and
m. permitting its agents, employees or personnel to request
assistance from Defendants' business invitees.
(paragraph 43 of Plaintiffs' Complaint).
5. Lastly, Plaintiffs seek punitive damages based upon the following allegations:
51. Defendants knew, had reason to know or should have known
that by failing to apprehend the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline on
December 8, 1999, or upon his immediate entry onto the Premises
on December 9,1999, that they had created a hazardous or
dangerous condition substantially likely to result in injuries to
others in or upon the Premises, and Defendants acted wantonly,
willfully, knowingly and in reckless disregard to the hazardous or
dangerous condition which they had created.
52. Defendants knew, had reason to know or should have known
that be permitting the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline to enter upon the
Premises on December 9, 1999, and thereafter permit him to
traverse to Defendants' merchandise exchange and/or refund desk in
the middle of the Premises that they had created a hazardous or
dangerous condition substantially likely to result in injuries to
others in or upon the Premises, and Defendants acted wantonly,
willfully, and in reckless disregard to the hazardous or dangerous
condition which they had created.
53. Defendants knew or should have known that the failure to
apprehend the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline on December 8, 1999,
and permitting him to enter upon and traverse to the middle of the
Premises on December 9,1999, constituted wanton, willful and
reckless conduct because:
a. It was a reckless disregard of the safety of
Plaintiff, James W. Deffenbaugh, and other
business invitees upon the Premises;
b. It created an unreasonable risk of physical hann
to Plaintiff, James W. Deffenbaugh, and other
business invitees upon the premises; and
c. It created a substantially greater risk of physical
hann to Plaintiff, James W. Deffenbaugh, and
other business invitees upon the Premises.
(paragraphs 51-53 of Plaintiffs' Complaint).
6. Pa. R.C.P. Nos. 1028(a)(2), (4) and/or (5) provide that Preliminary Objections maybe
filed as follows:
(a) Preliminary objections may be filed by any party to any
pleading and are limited to the following grounds:
(2) failure of a pleading to conform to law or rule of court or
inclusion of scandalous or impertinent matter;
(4) legal insufficiency of a pleading (demurrer); and
(5) lack of capacity to sue, nonjoinder of a necessary party or
misjoinder of a cause of action.
Id.
7. As discussed in greater detail below, Plaintiffs' Complaint is violative of the
aforementioned Rules of Civil Procedure, and, therefore, Boscov's now timely files these
Preliminary Obj ections.
II. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION IN THE NATURE OF A DEMURRER. PURSUANT
TO PA. R.C.P. No. l02S(a)(4) (CLAIM FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES).
8. As stated above, in Count One, Plaintiffs seek breach of contract, and declaratory
judgment relief based upon Boscov's payments of certain medical expenses.
9. Boscov's made gratuitous payments to Plaintifffor his medical bills.
10. Plaintiffs fail to reference any signed agreement that Boscov's would continue to make
medical payments, and/or continue said payments. Thus, Plaintiffs' Complaint fails to adequately
plead an express contract.
II. Plaintiffs fail to plead any consideration that would support an implied contract theory
of recovery.
12. Plaintiffs have likewise failed to plead any facts to show that Boscov's engaged in
conduct that would reasonably induce a definite action, in this case, Plaintiffs' failure to notify his
health insurer.
13. Plaintiffs have failed to plead any facts to show an injustice caused by anything other
than Plaintiffs' own failure to notify his health insurer of his injuries.
14. As such, Plaintiffs cannot recover for breach of contract damages, and Count One of
Plaintiffs' Complaint must be dismissed.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, Boscov's Department Store, Inc. and Boscov's Department,
LLC, respectfully request Plaintiffs' Complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted.
III. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION IN THE NATURE OF A MOTION TO STRIKE.
PURSUANT TO PA. RC.P. NO. 1028(8)(4) (CLAIM FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES).
15. Paragraphs 1 through 14 inclusive hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if set
forth in their entirety.
16. In the alternative, allegations concerning these payments are prejudicial and are
merely an attempt by Plaintiffs to show liability.
17. These payments were made in furtherance of settlement negotiations. As such, their
inclusion in Plaintiffs' Complaint constitutes scandalous and impertinent matter and fail to
conform to Rule of Court and therefore, any references thereto must be stricken.
18. Accordingly, Paragraphs 31-36 of Plaintiffs' Complaint must be stricken as
scandalous and impertinent and as failing to conform to law or Rule of Court.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, Boscov's Department Store, Inc. and Boscov's Department,
LLC, respectfully request paragraphs 31-36 of Plaintiffs' Complaint be stricken as scandalous and
impertinent and as failing to confirm to law or rule of Court.
IV. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION IN THE NATURE OF A DEMURRER PURSUANT
TO PA. RC.P. NO. 1028(8)(4) (PUNITIVE DAMAGES).
19. Paragraphs I through 18 inclusive hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if set
forth in their entirety.
20. As stated above, in Count Three of Plaintiffs' Complaint, Plaintiffs attempt to assert a
claim for punitive damages.
21. The basis of this claim is that Boscov's should have apprehended the alleged
shoplifter, Kenneth Cline, when he first came upon the premises on December 8, 1999, or
immediately upon his return on December 9,1999. See paragraphs 51 and 53 of Plaintiffs'
Complaint.
22. Even assuming that Boscov's personnel saw Mr. Cline enter the store with goods that
appeared to be stolen the day previously, there is nothing pled in Plaintiffs' Complaint to indicate
that Boscov's knew ofMr. Cline's presence before he was inside the store on December 9, 1999.
23. Thus, there was nothing Boscov's could do to avoid the risk of Mr. Cline re-entering
the store.
24. Nothing in Plaintiffs' Complaint supports an inference of reckless indifference
necessary to support a claim of punitive damages.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, Boscov's Department Store, Inc. and Boscov's Department,
LLC, respectfully request this Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiffs' claims for punitive damages.
V. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION IN THE NATURE OF A MOTION TO DISMISS
FOR FAILURE TO JOIN NECESSARY PARTY.
25. Paragraphs I through 24 inclusive hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if set
forth in their entirety.
26. Plaintiffs allege that the injuries sustained were occasioned by the collision between
the fleeing Mr. Cline and Plaintiff, James W. Deffenbaugh.
27. Plaintiffs further allege that even if Plaintiff, James W. Deffenbaugh had not
attempted to apprehend Mr. Cline, the collision that allegedly gave rise to Mr. Deffenbaugh's
injuries could not have been avoided due to Mr. Cline's path of travel.
28. In view ofthe foregoing, it is clear that Mr. Cline's rights are so closely connected
with the rights of the parties that he must be joined as an indispensable party.
29. In the alternative, Mr. Cline is a necessary party whose presence in the litigation is
essential if this Court is to completely resolve the controversy.
30. Plaintiffs' failure to join Mr. Cline warrants dismissal of Plaintiffs' Complaint.
WHEREFORE, Defendants, Boscov's Department Store, Inc. and Boscov's Department,
LLC, respectfully request this Honorable Court enter an Order dismissing Plaintiffs' Complaint
for failure to join an indispensable party, or in the alternative, dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint for
failure to join a necessary party.
Respectfully submitted,

encourage the public to enter upon so as to permit the public to purchase the wares and
merchandise which defendants have in and upon the Premises.
8. Defendants conduct extensive public advertising campaigns to entice the public to
enter upon the Premises with the most extensive and busiest time upon the Premises being the
period between Thanksgiving and December 26 each year.
9. Defendants maintain and employee surveillance equipment and security personnel
upon the Premises to, inter alia, provide for the protection and security of defendants' patrons and
customers and of the wares or merchandise located in and upon the Premises.
2
10. On or about December 8, 1999, defendants' personnel observed the theft of
certain wares and/or merchandise from the Premises by Kenneth E. Cline.
II. Upon information and belief, it is averred that though defendants' security
, personnel observed the illegal conduct of Kenneth E. Cline, no action of whatsoever kind or
character was taken by defendants to apprehend Kenneth E. Cline on December 8, 1999,
12. On the morning of December 9, 1999, plaintiff, James W. Deffenbaugh, and his
mother, entered upon the Premises for purposes of conducting Christmas shopping from
defendants' wares and merchandise and thus, at all times material hereto, Plaintiff James W.

13. The Premises contained many other business invitees conducting Christmas
shopping on December 9, 1999.
14. On December 9, 1999, at approximately 10:30 a.m., defendants' personnel
observed the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline enter upon the Premises with the wares or merchandise
which defendants' personnel had observed Kenneth E. Cline removing from the Premises on the
previous day.
15. Though defendants' personnel knew, had reason to know or should have known
that the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline was a dangerous person or presented the potential to create a
dangerous condition defendants' personnel failed to (a) apprehend him, (b) attempt to apprehend
him or (c) otherwise attempt to prevent his entry upon the Premises and permitted the aforesaid
Kenneth E. Cline to traverse to the middle of the Premises, up two (2) flights of stairs and to
defendants' merchandise exchange and/or refund desk, notwithstanding the large number of
business invitees upon the Premises.
3
16. Though defendants' personnel knew, had reason to know or should have known
on December 9, 1999, that any attempt at the apprehension of the aforesaid Kenneth E, Cline
after he traversed to defendants' merchandise exchange and/or refund desk could place at
'jeopardy the lives, safety and health of some or all of the large number of business invitees upon
the Premises, defendants' personnel permitted the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline to traverse to the
middle of the Premises, up two (2) flights of stairs and to defendants' merchandise exchange
and/or refund desk.
17, Upon information it is averred that the purpose of defendants' personnel
permitting the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline to enter upon the Premises on December 9, 1999, and
to traverse the Premises to defendants' merchandise exchange and/or refund desk was to provide
Kenneth E. Cline the opportunity to exchange the wares or merchandise he illegally took the
previous day for money and thereby permit defendants to have Kenneth E. Cline charged with a
higher graded criminal offense(s) than if defendants' personnel had apprehended Kenneth E,
Cline on December 8, 1999, or upon his immediate entry upon the Premises on December 9,
1999.
18. Upon information and belief it is averred that when on December 9, 1999, the

specific request of defendants' personnel, Plaintiff James W. Deffenbaugh attempted to and did
cause the apprehension of Kenneth E. Cline through a violent collision with Kenneth E. Cline
approximately in the center of the Premises at or near defendants' "Courtesy Desk."
23. Notwithstanding the specific requests of defendants' personnel on December 9,
1999, to apprehend the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline, the violent collision between Plaintiff James

which he claims to the extend permitted by applicable law.

provider;
b. he obtained medical insurance coverage with a
substantially higher deductible; and
c, he is unable or may be unable to obtain medical insurance
coverage for injuries he sustained on December 9, 1999, because
those injuries constitute "pre-existing" conditions.

breach and pay the outstanding balance of the medical expenses incurred in the approximate
7
amount of $2,000.00 and provide assurance that defendants will continue to pay for the medical
treatment which Plaintiff James W. Deffenbaugh shall require.

41. The presence of the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline upon the Premises on December
9, 1999, in or near defendants' merchandise exchange and/or refund desk and in or near
defendants' "Courtesy Desk" constitutes careless and negligent conduct by defendants, their
agents, representatives and/or employees.
8
42. The hazardous and/or dangerous conditions which caused Plaintiff James W.
Deffenbaugh to incur the injuries on December 9, 1999, were present and within the actual or

i. failing to exercise control in such a manner so as to prevent
the dangerous condition from existing or continuing;
j, failing to properly train their agents and/or employees so as
to prevent the occurrence of dangerous conditions, including the
dangerous condition that caused Plaintiff James W. Deffenbaugh's
injuries;
k. failing to warn of the dangerous condition that existed;
1. failing to have adequate supervising personnel present on
the day in question; and
m. permitting its agents, employees or personnel to request

condition substantially likely to result in injuries to others in or upon the Premises, and
defendants acted wantonly, willfully, knowingly and in reckless disregard to the hazardous or
dangerous condition which they had created.
52, Defendants knew, had reason to know or should have known that by permitting
the aforesaid Kenneth E. Cline to enter upon the Premises on December 9, 1999, and thereafter

PRELIMINARY
ORPORATION,
AND NOW comes the Defendant, Hertz Corporation, by and through its attomeys, Hartman,
Osborne & Rettig, to submit the within Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs' Complaint, and in support
thereof avers as follows:
I. Plaintiffs commenced the above-captioned negligence action by the filing of a Writ of
Summons on November 19, 200 I. A true and correct copy of Plaintiffs ' Writ of Summons is attached hereto
as Exhibit "A".
2. The Return of Service filed by the Sheriff reflects that service of Plaintiffs' Writ of
Summons upon Defendant Hertz Corporation was effected on November 27, 200 I.
3. A Complaint was filed by Plaintiffs on May 15,2002. A true and correct copy of Plaintiffs'
Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
4. Generally, Plaintiffs allege that Defendant Calvin Muller was negligent in colliding with
Plaintiffs' automobile while driving Defendant Hertz Corporation's automobile, resulting in personal
injuries.
5. With regard to Defendant Hertz Corporation, Plaintiffs allege that it was negligent in its
entrustment of its automobile to Defendant Muller.
A. COUNT IT OF PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT. ATTEMPTING TO SET FORTH A
CLAIM AGAINST HERTZ CORPORATION BASED UPON THE THEORY OF
NEGLIGENT ENTRUSTMENT SHOULD BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO
STATE A CLAIM UPON WIDCH RELIEF MAY BE GRANTED.
6. Pursuantto PAR.C.P. 1028(a)(4), a Preliminary Objection in the nature ofa demurrer is an
appropriate means of challenging the legal sufficiency of a pleading. PAR.C.P. 1028(a)(4).
7. A demurrer must be granted when the Court is certain that, as a matter of law, there can be
no recovery upon the facts alleged. Wurth v. Philadelohia, 584 A2d 404 (Pa. Commw. 1990).
8. In Count II of her Complaint, Plaintiff is apparently attempting to state a claim against Hertz
Corporation based upon negligent entrustment.
9. Count II of Plaintiffs' Complaint reads as follows:
COUNT II - NEGLIGENT ENTRUSTMENT
MARGARET STILL V. HERTZ CORPORATION
23. The occurrence of the aforementioned collision and the resultant
injuries to the Plaintiff, Margaret Still, were caused directly and
proximately by the negligence, carelessness or recklessness of Defendant,
Hertz Corporation, acting solely and/or in conjunction with Defendant
Calvin F. Muller, generally, and more specifically, as set forth below:
a. In allowing Defendant, Calvin F. Muller, to fail to keep a proper
lookout for vehicles on the exit ramp 17 West, offI-81 waiting to
merge on SR 11 South in Middlesex Township, Cumberland
County;
b. In allowing Defendant, Calvin F. Muller, to fail to operate his
vehicle at such a speed, and under such control, so as to avoid
striking Plaintiffs' vehicle;
c. In allowing Defendant, Calvin F. Muller, to fail to properly
observe the traffic conditions then and there existing; and
d. In allowing Defendant, Calvin F. Muller, to fail to operate his
vehicle at a speed and under such control, so as to be able to stop
with the assured clear distance in violation of75 Pa. C.S.A. 3361.
2
10. Count II of Plaintiffs' Complaint fails to state a claim against Hertz Corporation based
upon negligent entrustment.
11. Plaintiffs have failed to state that Defendant Hertz Corporation owed a duty to Plaintiffs.
12. Plaintiffs have failed to state that Defendant Hertz Corporation breached a duty owed to
Plaintiffs.
13. Plaintiffs have failed to state the reasons why Defendant Hertz Corporation should not
have rented the automobile to Defendant Muller.
14. Plaintiffs have failed, therefore, to state a claim for negligent entrustment upon which
relief may be granted in Count II of their Complaint.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Hertz Corporation, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
grant its Preliminary Objection as to Plaintiffs' claims against it based upon negligent entrustment, and
dismiss any such claim in its entirety.
