Defendant(s)
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO COMPLAINT
Now comes the Defendant, by and through counsel, the J. Murphy
Firm, and Joseph P. Murphy, Esquire and bring(s) and file(s) the within
Preliminary Objections to Complaint, averring in support thereof as follows:
OBJECTIONS TO CONTRACT CLAIMS
1. The Complaint references a credit agreement or contract.
2. Although the Complaint references a credit agreement or contract,
no copy of the agreement or contract is attached thereto.
3. The foregoing amounts to a violation of PA. R.C.P. §1019(i).
4. Accordingly, the Complaint is the proper subject of preliminary
objections pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. §1028(a)(2) for failure to conform
to Rule of Court 1019(i).
OBJECTIONS DIRECTED TOWARD LACK OF SPECIFICITY
S. These objections arise under Rule 1028(a)(3) and Rule 1019(f)
6. Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(3) provides for the filing of preliminary
objections where the complaint is insufficiently specific.
7. Rule 1028(a)(3) is commonly understood to require that the
complaint be sufficiently specific as to allow the Defendant to
formulate an answer, admitting or denying the averments in the
complaint.
8. As set forth in the attached brief, the complaint in this case is not
so sufficiently specific.
9. Pa. R.C.P. 1019 requires, inter alia, that facts be pled and that
items of special damage be pled with specificity.
10. In the context of a credit case, the facts and items of special
damage, which are to be pled, include the dates and amounts of
charges, fees, fines, interest, and the like.
11. In the context of a credit case, the requirements of 1019 are
normally met by attaching copies of an un-interrupted chain of
statements, starting with a zero balance and ending with a
statement showing the amount sought in the complaint.
12. It is respectfully submitted that the neither the Complaint, nor the
documents attached thereto, sufficiently or specifically plead the
facts and items of special damage underlying the case.
13. This renders the Complaint the proper subject of preliminary
objections, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2), for failure to
conform to Rule of Court 1019, and the proper subject of
preliminary objections, pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(3) for
insufficient specificity.
OBJECTIONS TO VERIFICATION
14. The Complaint is verified by counsel.
15. A verification by counsel can be appropriate only if same complies
with Pa. R.C.P. 1024(c).
16. Said verification does not comply with Pa. R.C.P. §1024(c).
17. Accordingly, the Complaint is the proper subject of preliminary
objections, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2) for failure to comply
with Rule 1024(c).
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully prays that the Complaint filed by
the Plaintiff be dismissed with prejudice, or, in the alternative that the
complaint be stricken, and the Plaintiff be required to plead over in accord
with the Rules of Court.
