No. 75906 301 Market Street P. O. Box 109 Lemoyne, Pennsylvania 17043-0109 (717) 761-4540 mcd@jdsw.com CYNTHIA A. THOMAS, Plaintiff V. RANDAL L. BOWLES, Defendant COMPLAINT NO. 0 9- G3o y ('1.? CIVIL ACTION - LAW JURY TRIAL DEMANDED AND NOW, come the Plaintiffs, Cynthia A. Thomas, by and through her attorneys, Johnson, Duffie, Stewart & Weidner, and files this Complaint and in support thereof avers as follows: 1. Plaintiff, Cynthia A. Thomas, is an adult individual residing at 4182 Elk Court, No. 117, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17050. 2. Defendant, Randal L. Bowles, an adult individual residing at 735 Tower Road, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025. 3. The parties hereto were involved in a relationship beginning in 1999. 4. In the Fall of 2001, the parties hereto jointly acquired real property known and numbered as 803 Chester Road, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17025. Attorneys for Plaintiff IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 5. On May 31, 2006, the parties sold this jointly-owned real estate and realized the proceeds from this sale at $31,795.52. A true and correct copy of the HUD-1 Settlement Statement from said sale is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. 6. The parties acquired the 803 Chester Road property in 2001 from the Plaintiff's cousin at a reduced price, and sold 803 Chester Road in 2006 for $169,000. 7. The Defendant utilized the proceeds from the sale of the jointly-held property at 803 Chester Road to purchase and construct a lot and home located at 735 Tower Road, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 8. The Defendant purchased the lot located at 735 Tower Road, from his mother. 9. Prior to construction of the new home at 735 Tower Road, the parties hereto went to Integrity Bank to get a construction loan. The Bank representatives told the parties that they were unaware that they were not married and indicated that there would be an additional $200 application fee for the Plaintiff. 10. Both parties indicated that they intended to be married in the future and due to the added costs associated with putting the Plaintiff on the deed at that time, the parties decided it was of no consequence. 11. At all times relevant hereto, it was the intent of the parties to be married and in fact, referred to one another as fianc6 and, on occasion, the Defendant referred to the Plaintiff as his wife. 12. The Defendant utilized the proceeds from the jointly-owned real estate located at 803 Chester Road to acquire and construct a home at 735 Tower Road. 13. In October, 2008, the Defendant asked the Plaintiff for a separation, and the Plaintiff left their home located at 735 Tower Road. 14. During the time in which the Plaintiff and Defendant cohabitated in the Chester Road property and in the Tower Road property, the Plaintiff contributed to the household expenses, as did the Defendant. 15. The parties hereto held title to the property located at 803 Chester Road as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, further evidencing their intention to formally marry in the future. UNJUST ENRICHMENT 16. Paragraphs 1-15 are incorporated herein as if the same were set forth fully. 17. Defendant's retaining the $31,795.52 and utilizing it to purchase the property located at 735 Tower Road and by failing to divide that money equally with Plaintiff, constitutes a benefit conferred upon the Defendant and acceptance and retention of the benefit. 18. Under these circumstances, it would be inequitable for the Defendant to retain the benefit without paying Plaintiff one-half (1/2) of the net proceeds from the sale of 803 Chester Road. 19. To allow the Defendant to obtain the benefit would be unjust as the Plaintiff was instrumental in acquiring the property located at 803 Chester Road, contributed towards the every-day bills incident to ownership of said property, and realized $31,795.52 from the sale of this jointly-owned real estate. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays this Honorable Court to enter a judgment in her favor in the amount of $15,897.76 plus interest and costs. CONTRACT IMPLIED IN LAW / QUASI-CONTRACT 20. Paragraphs 1-19 are incorporated herein as if the same were set forth fully. 21. Due to the fact that Defendant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of Plaintiff, the law implies that contract between the Plaintiff and Defendant. 22. The Plaintiff, by providing a benefit, must be compensated for the benefits that have been unjustly received by the Defendant. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays this Honorable Court to enter a judgment in her favor in the amount of $15,897.76 plus interest and costs. CONTRACT IMPLIED IN FACT 23. Paragraphs 1-22 are incorporated herein as if the same were set forth fully. 24. Over the years, by making representations to others that the Plaintiff and Defendant will be married and by selling the Chester Road property which was owned as joint tenants with the right of survivorship to acquire a new home in which the parties were going to live and eventually be married creates a contract implied in fact. 25. The conduct of the Plaintiff and Defendant, as set forth herein, creates a mutual agreement and intent to promise that has not been verbally expressed. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays this Honorable Court to enter a judgment in her favor in the amount of $15,897.76 plus interest and costs.
