JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
DEFENDANTS' ANSWER WITH NEW MATTER
AND NOW, come the Defendants, Daniel and Cynthia Jones, by and through their
attorneys, Angino & Rovner, P.C., and file the following Answer with New Matter and Third
Party Complaint:
1. Denied. Defendants are without knowledge, information, and belief regarding the
truth or falsity of this averment and it is therefore denied.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
COUNTI
BREACH OF CONTRACT
RESTORECORE, INC. vs. DANIEL M. JONES
5. Denied. This paragraph contains no averments of fact. To the extent that this
paragraph is deemed to contain averments of fact, they are specifically denied.
6. Denied. In September 2008, Plaintiff was contacted by Penn National Insurance
Company, an insurance carrier for McNaughton Homes regarding damage to the Defendants'
property caused by water and mud runoff from a McNaughton Homes development. Defendants
never entered into a contract with the Plaintiff for the remediation of their home and Defendants
did not contact the Plaintiff and request their services. RestoreCore was contacted by and hired
by Penn National Insurance. At the time that Defendant Daniel Jones signed Exhibit B, he was
specifically told that all payments would be made by Penn National Insurance and that his
signing of Exhibit B was simply a formality that allowed RestoreCore to begin cleanup efforts.
Daniel Jones was assured that Exhibit B was simply a work authorization and that it did not
obligate him to make any payment. Defendant Daniel Jones never agreed that either the services
or the prices provided by RestoreCore were fair and reasonable. Neither Daniel Jones nor
Cynthia Jones was ever provided with a copy of Exhibit A prior to the initiation of this lawsuit.
7. Admitted.
8. Denied. Defendants have not refused to cooperate with processing this claim.
9. Denied. It is specifically denied that a legitimate demand for payment has been
made against Daniel Jones. It is admitted that Mr. Jones has refused to pay the balance due
because Mr. Jones does not owe RestoreCore any money.
2
10. Denied. Mr. Jones signed Exhibit B only as a work authorization and after
receiving assurances from RestoreCore that he was not responsible for payment because Penn
National was paying RestoreCore's bill.
11. Denied. Defendant has no knowledge, information, or belief as to the veracity of
the claims made in this paragraph and they are therefore denied.
12. Denied. Daniel Jones never had a contract with RestoreCore that required
Mr. Jones to make any payment to RestoreCore.
COUNT II
UNJUST ENRICHMENT
RESTORECORE. INC. vs. DANIEL M. JONES and CYNTHIA C. JONES
13. Denied. This paragraph contains no averments of fact that can be admitted or
denied. To the extent that this paragraph is deemed to contain averments of fact, they are
specifically denied.
14. Denied. Defendants believe, and therefore aver, that they never had any contract
or agreement to pay RestoreCore for services provided. Without waiving as a defense that
Defendants never agreed to make any payment to RestoreCore, Defendant's also contest
RestoreCore's billing statement which was inaccurate and grossly overstated. Daniel Jones is
fluent in Spanish and in conversing with the Plaintiff's "hazardous waste technicians" which are
being billed at $51.75 per hour, he learned that they were mostly Mexican and South American
workers with questionable documentation who did not speak English. Defendants do not believe
that the credentials and training of these workers qualified them as specially trained technicians
to justify an hourly rate of $51.75. Defendants have the same concerns regarding the Plaintiffs
water extraction and remediation technicians. Plaintiffs bills for personal protective equipment
3
are also grossly overstated. Defendants have several photos showing none of these items being
worn by workers. On only a few occasions did the workers wear protective gear of any kind.
Defendants have the same concerns and contest Plaintiffs invoices for boots, eye protection,
respirators and respirator replacement cartridges. Plaintiffs administrative/supervisor labor
charge is also grossly overstated. Plaintiffs employees did not properly document the Jones'
personal property that they threw away, making it very difficult for the Jones to reconstruct their
inventory of lost contents. This behavior does not warrant $50.00 per hour. Plaintiffs bills for
equipment set up, take down, and monitoring are also grossly overstated. Daniel Jones did most
of the monitoring and running of the equipment. Plaintiffs bill for air movers or fans is
exaggerated. Defendant's photographs show only six fans, not 20. The daily rate bills are
overstated and unreasonable. Plaintiff also overbilled for dehumidifiers. Plaintiffs bill is for 10
units. There were not 10 units on the property, only a couple units. Plaintiff did bring in a large
truck-size unit to dehumidify; however, RestoreCore was unable to run the machine and Daniel
Jones had to get it running for them. Plaintiffs bills for desiccant, generator rental and set up,
propane fuel (the generator was actually diesel powered and was run by Daniel Jones), HVAC
cleaning, and general clean-up are also overstated. Plaintiff did not have any temporary toilet at
the property and instead used the .Tones' toilet in their home. Plaintiffs outstanding bill is
clearly overstated.
15. Denied. Plaintiffs poor workmanship in inventorying items and exaggerated
billing has been no benefit to the Defendants. As stated above, Plaintiffs bill is grossly
overstated and had the Defendants known that they, rather than Penn National Insurance, would
be sued for payment of the bill, Defendants could have and would have either done the work
themselves or searched for other contractors to perform the work at more reasonable prices. By
4
way of further answer, this paragraph is denied as a conclusion of law. To the extent that this
paragraph is deemed to contain averments of fact, they are specifically denied.
16. Denied. Plaintiff had a contract and an agreement with Penn National Insurance,
not with the Joneses. Plaintiff should look to Penn National Insurance for payment. Defendants
were fraudulently induced into allowing the Plaintiff to work on their property only to later
receive a grossly exaggerated claim for payment. By way of further answer, this paragraph is
denied as a conclusion of law. To the extent that this paragraph is deemed to contain averments
of fact, they are specifically denied.
17. Denied. Unjust enrichment is an equitable doctrine requiring the Plaintiff to have
clean hands and in this case, the Plaintiffs hands are far from clean. Plaintiff fraudulently
induced Mr. and Mrs. Jones to allow them to work on the Jones' property and subsequently
presented a grossly inflated bill. By way of further answer, this paragraph is denied as a
conclusion of law. To the extent that this paragraph is deemed to contain averments of fact, they
are specifically denied.
WHEREFORE, Defendants Daniel Jones and Cynthia Jones respectfully request that this
Honorable Court dismiss Plaintiff's lawsuit against them.
NEW MATTER
18. Defendants hereby incorporate the above paragraphs as though they were set forth
at length herein.
19. At the time that RestoreCore arrived at the Defendants' property, representatives
from RestoreCore specifically stated that Mr. and Mrs. Jones would not incur any liability for
payment by signing Exhibit B, which they identified as a work authorization.
20. Daniel Jones was fraudulently induced into signing Plaintiff's Exhibit B.
5
. l
21. Cynthia Jones never signed any agreement or authorization with the Plaintiff.
22. Defendant Daniel Jones justifiably relied on Plaintiff's statements that he would
not be responsible for payment because Penn National Insurance was paying RestoreCore.
23. As a result of the Plaintiff's statements and Mr. Jones' justifiable reliance,
Mr. Jones did not seek an itemized estimate before work began and did not look into the cost or
renting equipment himself or getting estimates from others, all of which would have saved the
Jones thousands and thousands of dollars of the grossly inflated bills in Plaintiff s Exhibit A.
24. Plaintiff should be equitably estopped from asserting claims against Mr. and
Mrs. Jones.
25. Without waiving any other defenses, should it be determined that Daniel Jones
had a contract for payment with the Plaintiff, the Plaintiff is precluded from attaching or placing
a lien on any assets held jointly with his wife, Cynthia Jones, who never signed any documents
with RestoreCore.
26. Plaintiff's unclean hands preclude RestoreCore from asserting any equitable
remedies against Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
27. Plaintiff does not have an enforceable contract with Mr. Jones or Mrs. Jones.
28. If the Plaintiff has an enforceable contract with the Jones, the values listed in
Exhibit A are grossly overstated, and Plaintiff may have already been paid equal value for the
services rendered by Penn National Insurance.
29. Should Exhibit B be found to be an enforceable contract against the Defendants,
Plaintiff's bills are not consistent with the rates set forth in the payment schedule.
6
30. Should Exhibit B be found to be an enforceable contract against the Defendants,
the contract does not provide for payment by the Defendants since the bills in this case are
covered by insurance.
31. Exhibit B is an unenforceable Contract of Adhesion signed by Daniel Jones while
he was under duress. His house was filled with water, mud, and representatives from
RestoreCore. He had no bargaining power and no opportunity to review the unconscionable and
one-sided terms of the document.
WHEREFORE, Defendants Daniel and Cynthia Jones respectfully request this Honorable
Court to dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint against them.
Respectfully submitted,
