Defendant,
ANSWER TO PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
Defendant apparently intends his preliminary objections to be a demurrer in
which case the 23 paragraphs in his motion improperly allege facts which are not
before the court in considering the demurrer. Plaintiff answers the allegations in
defendant's preliminary objections although the demurrer should be considered
without regard to any allegations.
Plaintiff answers the allegations in defendant's preliminary objections to
complaint as follows:
1.) Paragraphs 1 thru 5 are general statements of legal principles and do not
require an answer.
6.) The defense of res judicata must be raised under New Matter.
Pa RCP 1030 (a)
7.) The record of case 03-6247 is a matter of record and the allegations
therein speak for themselves.
8.) Admitted
9.) The allegations of this paragraph are legal opinions and require no
answer.
10.) Admitted
11.) Admitted
12.) It is denied the present action involves a case already decided on the
merits and on the contrary the personal liability of Lowell R. Gates has never been
adjudicated.
17.) Paragraphs 15 and 24 of the Complaint speak for themselves.
18.) Plaintiffs complaint alleges an agreement between PNC Bank, Executor,
and Lowell R. Gates that the Greenray stock held as an estate asset would be
redeemed by Lowell R. Gates and the portion of the sales price due to the Executor
would be paid by him.
19.) The Courts decision in case 03-6247 is res judicata on the issue of the
client for whom Lowell R. Gates was acting when he caused the loss by not
accounting for the sale of the Greenray stock proceeds.
20.) PNC Bank has alleged it delivered the stock to Lowell R. Gates for
redemption and this issue was raised in case 03-6247 and the matter is res judicata.
21.) The allegations of paragraph 21 are legal conclusions which require no
answer.
22.) Denied and on the contrary Gates and Associates PC is an active
corporation as per records of the Pennsylvania Corporation Bureau.
23.) This allegation is the same as the allegation in paragraph 18 and
plaintiffs answer thereto is incorporated by reference.
WHEREFORE plaintiff moves for dismissal of defendants preliminary
objections.
