As you know, .this office represents the interests of Moses Landscape Design and
Maintenance, Inc. We appreciate the generosity of your offer. Unfortunately, cash now at this
time does not permit payments in the amount which you seek. As an alternative, the company is
agreeable to paying $500.00 per month until the total remaining balance of $8,357.96 is paid in
full. Thus, this would require 16 payments of $500.00 each and a remaining payment of
$357.96. Please let me know whether this is acceptable.
Sincerely yours,

ARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANT, STEVEN MOSEY, TO PLAINTIFF'S
COMPLAINT
NqW, comes the Defendant, Steven Mosey, by and through his counsel,
& Chernicoff, P.C., who submits his Preliminary Objections to Plaintiff s
Complaint a~ follows:
1.
On or about October , 2010, Groff Tractor & Equipment, Inc. ("Plaintiff') filed a
Complaint (the "Complaint") against Defendants, Steven Mosey, individually
("Mr. Mosey") and d/b/a Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc ("Mose's
Landscape") (collectively "Defendants") with this Honorable Court.
2. ` In the Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants rented various pieces of heavy
machinery and construction equipment as a result of which they owe Plaintiff
$4,806.00 together with interest, attorney fees and costs.
COUN~[' I -LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY OF A PLEADING (DEMURRER) Pa. R.C.P.
1028(a)(4)
3. ~ The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 2 are incorporated herein by reference as
if fully set forth.
4. According to the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, Preliminary Objections
may be filed on grounds of legal insufficiency of a pleading. See Pa. R. C. P.
§ 1028(a)(4).
5. ~ Throughout Plaintiff s Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that it rented various pieces of
heavy machinery and construction equipment to the Defendant Corporation,
Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc. through Defendant, Steven Mosey,
an officer of such Corporation.
6. ~ All attachments to the Complaint are specifically directed to Mose's Landscape
Design. See Complaint Exhibit "A".
7. ~ In the Complaint, Plaintiff attaches as Exhibit "B", correspondence from the
Offices of Cunningham & Chernicoff, P.C. regarding the alleged amounts sought
by Plaintiff. Such correspondence specifically refers to the Corporation, Mose's
Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc., with no inference that Mr. Mosey was
individually liable for the alleged amounts due and owing. See Complaint Exhibit
..B..
8. ~ Plaintiff has failed to attach any Agreement, either in writing or orally, between
Plaintiff and Individual Defendant, Steven Mosey.
9. ~ In essence, Plaintiff has failed to allege any facts that would support any type of
cause of action against the Individual Defendant, Mr. Mosey.
10. !i The question presented by a demurrer is whether, in the facts averred, the law says
with certainty that no recovery is possible. See e~ n., erally Bundy v. Beard, 924
A.2d 723 (Pa. Cornmw. Ct. 2007).
11. ~ One cannot be liable for a breach of contract unless one is a party to that contract.
See Electron Energy Corp. v. Short, 408 Pa. Super. 563, 597 A.2d 175 (1991),
appeal granted, 529 Pa. 664, 604 A.2d 1030 (1992) and order affd, 533 Pa. 66,
618 A.2d 395 (1993).
12. ~ A person who is not a party to a contract cannot be held liable for its breach by
one of the parties to the contract. See Fleetway Leasing_Co. v. Wright, 697 A.2d
1000 (Pa. Super.1997).
13. ~ In the instant matter, Plaintiff has clearly alleged that the equipment was rented to
the entity, Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc.
14. ~ Plaintiff has failed to present any allegations of any agreement between itself and
Mr. Mosey to repay any monies allegedly due and owing by Mose's Landscape
Design & Maintenance, Inc.
15. ~ Demurrer of Plaintiff s Complaint is proper because Plaintiff has not alleged that
Mr. Mosey was a party to any contract between Plaintiff and himself, thus, Mr.
Mosey cannot be found liable under a breach of contract theory. As such, Count I
of Plaintiff s Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted in
regards to Mr. Mosey.
ORE, Defendant, Steven Mosey, hereby respectfully requests this Honorable
Court susta~n Count I of his Preliminary Objections and dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint against him
with prej
COUNT II -LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY OF A PLEADING (DEMURRER)
16.
17.
18
The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 15 are incorporated herein by reference as
if fully set forth.
While not specifically outlined in Plaintiff s Complaint, one could construe that
Plaintiff is attempting to pierce the corporate veil of Mose's Landscape Design &
Maintenance, Inc. against Steven Mosey.
According to Pennsylvania Law, when determining whether or not a corporate
form should be disregarded, one must look to the following factors:
a. Under capitalization;
b. Failure to adhere to corporate formalities;
c. Substantial intermingling of corporate and personal affairs; and
d. Use of the corporate form to perpetrate a fraud.
19
See Lumax Industries. Inc. v. Aultman, 669 A.2d 893 (Pa. 1995}.
Pennsylvania maintains a strong presumption against piercing the corporate veil.
See Id. citing Wedner v. Employment Board, 449 Pa. 460, 464 296 A.2d 792, 794
(1972).
20. ~ For the purposes of testing the legal sufficiency challenge of a pleading, a
Preliminary Objection in the nature of a Demurrer admits as true all well pleaded
material and relevant facts but it does not admit conclusions of law or averments
of law. See Lumax, supra.
21. Plaintiff has failed to set forth any material, relevant or well pleaded facts, which,
if true, would state a claim upon which relief may be granted under a theory of
alter ego or piercing the corporate veil.
22. Plaintiff has failed to aver any specific material or relevant fact to support any
legal conclusion that Mr. Mosey and Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance,
Inc. are inseparatable or that Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc. is the
alter ego of Mr. Mosey.
WH BEFORE, Defendant, Steven Mosey, hereby respectfully requests this Honorable
Court susta~n Count II of his Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs Complaint and dismiss
Plaintiffs ~bmplaint against him with prejudice.
;QL~ T III - IN THE ALTERNATIVE, INSUFFICIENT SPECIFICITY OF A
'LEA DING PERTAINING T4 ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL
D FENDANT, STEVEN MOSEY, PURSUANT TO PA R.C.P. §1028(a)(3)
23. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 22 are incorporated herein by reference as
if fully set forth.
24. For all the reasons set forth herein in these Preliminary Objections, Individual
Defendant, Steven Mosey, is unable to respond to the allegations set forth in
Plaintiff s Complaint due to Plaintiff s insufficient specificity in the pleadings.
WH BEFORE, Defendant, Steven Mosey, hereby respectfully requests that, in the
alternative, (~iis Honorable Court sustain Count III of his Preliminary Objections to Plaintiff s
Complaint,~order Plaintiff to amend its Complaint and grant Defendant such further relief as is
just and

AMENDED COMPLAINT
1. Plaintiff is Groff Tractor & Equipment, Inc., a Pennsylvania business corporation with a
principal place of business located at 6779 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17050.
2. Defendant is Steven Mosey, an adult individual with a last known mailing address of
105 Piketown Road, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17112.
3. Defendant Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc. is believed to be a
Pennsylvania business corporation with a last known mailing address of 105 Piketown Road,
Harrisburg, Dauphin County, :Pennsylvania 17112.
4. At all times relevant hereto, individual Defendant Steven Mosey did appear at Plaintiff's
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania location to lease from Plaintiff various pieces of equipment and
machinery; however, at no time did individual Defendant Steven Mosey ever advise Plaintiff he
was doing so as a representative of a corporation, rather individual Defendant Steven Mosey
merely represented that he "did business as" "Mose's Landscape Design."

As you know, this office represents the interests of Moses Landscape Design and
Maintenance, Inc. We appreciate the generosity of your offer. Unfortunately, cash flow at this
time does not permit payments in the amount which you seek. As an alternative, the company is
agreeable to paying $500.00 per month until the total remaining; balance of `$8,357.96 is paid in
full. Thus, this would require 16 payments of $500.00 each and a remaining payment of
$357.96: Please let nie know whether this is acceptable.
Sincerely yours,

PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANT, STEVEN MOSEY, TO PLAINTIFF'S
AMENDED COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Steven Mosey, by and through his counsel,
Cunningham & Chernicoff, P.C., who submits his Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs Amended
Complaint as follows:
On or about October, 2010, Groff Tractor & Equipment, Inc. ("Plaintiff') filed a
Complaint (the "Complaint") against Defendants, Steven Mosey, individually
("Mr. Mosey") and d/b/a Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc ("Mose's
Landscape") (collectively "Defendants") with this Honorable Court.
2. In the Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants rented various pieces of heavy
machinery and construction equipment as a result of which they owe Plaintiff
$4,806.00 together with interest, attorney fees and costs.
3. Thereafter, on or about October 19, 2010, Defendants filed Preliminary
Objections to the Complaint claiming that Plaintiff's Complaint failed to state a
cause of action against Defendant, Steven Mosey.
4. On or about November 5, 2010, Plaintiff filed its Amended Complaint with this
Court.
COUNT I - LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY OF A PLEADING (DEMURRER) Pa. R.C.P.
1028(a)(4)
5. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 4 are incorporated herein by reference as
if fully set forth.
6. According to the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, Preliminary Objections
may be filed on grounds of legal insufficiency of a pleading. See Pa. R. C. P.
§ 1028(a)(4).
7. Throughout Plaintiffs original Complaint, Plaintiff alleged that it rented various
pieces of heavy machinery and construction equipment to the Defendant
Corporation, Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc. through Defendant,
Steven Mosey, an officer of such Corporation.
8. In the Amended Complaint, Plaintiff now claims that it rented various pieces of
heavy machinery and construction equipment to Steven Mosey who represented
that he "did business as" "Mose's Landscape Design". See Amended Complaint
at ¶4.
9. Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc. was a registered and existing
Pennsylvania corporation at all times relevant to this action.
10. All attachments to the Amended Complaint, including invoices created by
Plaintiff, are specifically directed to "Mose's Landscape Design." See Amended
Complaint Exhibit "A".
11. In the Amended Complaint, Plaintiff attaches, as Exhibit "B," correspondence
from the offices of Cunningham & Chernicoff, P.C. regarding the alleged amounts
sought by Plaintiff. Such correspondence specifically refers to the Corporation,
Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc., with no inference that Mr. Mosey
was individually liable for the alleged amounts due and owing. See Amended
Complaint Exhibit "B".
12. Plaintiff has failed to attach any Agreement, either in writing or orally, between
Plaintiff and Individual Defendant, Steven Mosey.
13. In essence, Plaintiff has failed to allege any facts that would support any type of
cause of action against the Individual Defendant, Mr. Mosey.
14. The question presented by a demurrer is whether, in the facts averred, the law says
with certainty that no recovery is possible. See generally Bundy v. Beard, 924
A.2d 723 (Pa. Commw. Ct. 2007).
15. One cannot be liable for a breach of contract unless one is a party to that contract.
See Electron Energy Corp. v. Short, 408 Pa. Super. 563, 597 A.2d 175 (1991),
appeal granted, 529 Pa. 664, 604 A.2d 1030 (1992) and order affd, 533 Pa. 66,
618 A.2d 395 (1993).
16. A person who is not a party to a contract cannot be held liable for its breach by
one of the parties to the contract. See Fleetway Leasing Co. v. Wright, 697 A.2d
1000 (Pa. Super. 1997).
17. Plaintiff has failed to present any allegations of any agreement between itself and
Mr. Mosey to repay any monies allegedly due and owing by Mose's Landscape
Design & Maintenance, Inc.
18. Demurrer of Plaintiffs Amended Complaint is proper because Plaintiff has not
alleged that Mr. Mosey was a party to any contract between Plaintiff and himself,
thus, Mr. Mosey cannot be found liable under a breach of contract theory. As
such, Count I of Plaintiffs Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can
be granted in regards to Mr. Mosey.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Steven Mosey, hereby respectfully requests this Honorable
Court sustain Count I of his Preliminary Objections and dismiss Plaintiffs Amended Complaint
against him with prejudice.
COUNT II - LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY OF A PLEADING (DEMURRER)
19. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 18 are incorporated herein by reference as
if fully set forth.
20. While not specifically outlined in Plaintiffs Complaint, one could construe that
Plaintiff is attempting to pierce the corporate veil of Mose's Landscape Design &
Maintenance, Inc. against Steven Mosey.
21. According to Pennsylvania Law, when determining whether or not a corporate
form should be disregarded, one must look to the following factors:
a. Under capitalization;
b. Failure to adhere to corporate formalities;
C. Substantial intermingling of corporate and personal affairs; and
d. Use of the corporate form to perpetrate a fraud.
See Lumax Industries, Inc. v. Aultman, 669 A.2d 893 (Pa. 1995).
22. Pennsylvania maintains a strong presumption against piercing the corporate veil.
See Id. citing Wedner v. Employment Board, 449 Pa. 460, 464 296 A.2d 792, 794
(1972).
23. For the purposes of testing the legal sufficiency challenge of a pleading, a
Preliminary Objection in the nature of a Demurrer admits as true all well pleaded
material and relevant facts but it does not admit conclusions of law or averments
of law. See Lumax, supra.
24. Plaintiff has failed to set forth any material, relevant or well pleaded facts, which,
if true, would state a claim upon which relief may be granted under a theory of
alter ego or piercing the corporate veil.
25. Plaintiff has failed to aver any specific material or relevant fact to support any
legal conclusion that Mr. Mosey and Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance,
Inc. are inseparatable or that Mose's Landscape Design & Maintenance, Inc. is the
alter ego of Mr. Mosey.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Steven Mosey, hereby respectfully requests this Honorable
Court sustain Count II of his Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs Amended Complaint and
dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint against him with prejudice.
COUNT III - IN THE ALTERNATIVE, INSUFFICIENT SPECIFICITY OF A
PLEADING PERTAINING TO ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THE INDIVIDUAL
DEFENDANT, STEVEN MOSEY, PURSUANT TO PA R.C.P. §1028(a)(3)
26. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 25 are incorporated herein by reference as
if fully set forth.
27. For all the reasons set forth herein in these Preliminary Objections, Individual
Defendant, Steven Mosey, is unable to respond to the allegations set forth in
Plaintiffs Amended Complaint due to Plaintiffs insufficient specificity in the
pleadings.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Steven Mosey, hereby respectfully requests that, in the
alternative, this Honorable Court sustain Count III of his Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs
Amended Complaint, order Plaintiff to amend its Complaint and grant Defendant such further
relief as is just and proper.
