Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
V. NO. 2013- CIVIL TERM
JOEY'S ICE CREAM TRUCKS, LLC
Defendant
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Bill Ryerson, by and through his attorneys, MARTSON
DEARDORFF WILLIAMS OTTO GILROY & FALLER, and hereby avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff, William Ryerson. ("Plaintiff'), is an adult individual residing at 246
Forgedale Drive, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17015.
2. Defendant, Joey's Ice Cream Trucks, LLC ( "Defendant "), is a West Virginia limited
liability company with a principal place of business located at 1496 Limestone Road, Charleston,
West Virginia 25312.
3. On or about December of 2012, Plaintiff entered into a written agreement
( "Agreement ") with Defendant whereby Plaintiff would pay Defendant $48,000.00 in consideration
for an ice cream truck ( "Truck ") to be outfitted by Defendant and delivered to Plaintiff.
4. Upon information and belief, Defendant signed the Agreement. However, Plaintiff
does not have a copy of the signed Agreement. Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit
"A" is a true and correct copy of the unsigned Agreement.
5. Alternatively, should the Court find that no written agreement existed, there was an
oral agreement that Plaintiff would purchase an ice cream truck from Defendant for $48,000.00.
6. Plaintiff has paid Defendant a total of $43,500.00.
7. By email dated April 4, 2013, Defendant agreed to waive the remaining $4,500.00
balance due to the delay in finishing the Truck. A true and correct copy of the redacted email is
attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B."
8. Therefore, the payment of $43,500.00 from Plaintiff to Defendant is payment in full.
9. Subsequent to the Agreement, Defendant agreed via email to provide Plaintiff with
the completed Truck in Februaryof 2013. The redacted email from Defendant to Plaintiff evidencing
such agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "C."
10. As of July, 2013, Plaintiff has not received the Truck.
11. As the ice cream business in Pennsylvania is only viable during the Spring and
Summer months, Plaintiff was forced to purchase another ice cream truck from a different dealer in
order to capitalize on the season.
COUNT I - BREACH OF CONTRACT
12. Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the averments contained in paragraphs 1
through 11 as if fully set forth below.
13. The Agreement was made between Plaintiff and Defendant.
14. Plaintiff substantially complied with the Agreement (whether oral or written) by
paying Defendant $43,500.00.
15. Defendant breached the Agreement by failing to provide the Truck to Plaintiff in time
for Plaintiff to utilize it during the Spring and Summer months, and has failed to return the
$43,500.00 as demanded by Plaintiff.
16. Consequently, Plaintiff was forced to purchase an ice cream truck from a different
dealer and incur additional costs.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in an amount that is equal or
less than the arbitration limits of $50,000.00.
COUNT II - QUANTUM MERUIT
17. Plaintiff hereby incorporates by reference the averments contained in paragraphs 1
through 16 as if fully set forth below.
18. In the alternative, if an agreement is not found to have existed, then Defendant was
unjustly enriched.
19. Plaintiff paid Defendant $43,500.00 to purchase the Truck.
20. Defendant has not provided Plaintiff with the Truck.
21. Defendant has been unjustly enriched by accepting, retaining and benefitting from
the payment for the Truck without providing the Truck to Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in an amount that is equal or
less than the arbitration limits of $50,000.00.
COUNT III - UNLAWFUL CONDUCT UNDER THE
PENNSYLVANIA UNFAIR TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW
22. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 21 above are hereby incorporated as if fully
set forth below.
23. 73 P.S. § 201 -9.2 establishes the right of a party to bring private action under the
Pennsylvania Unfair Trade and Consumer Protection Law ( "PUTPCPL "), and provides the court
discretion to apply treble damages and any "additional relief it deems necessary" in such cases.
24. Under 73 P.S. § 201 -3, one acts unlawfully when his acts or omissions fall under any
of the terms defined within 73 P.S. § 201- 2(4)(i)- (xxi).
25. Plaintiff acted unlawfully by engaging in fraudulent or deceptive conduct which
created a likelihood of confusion or of misunderstanding under 73 P.S. § 201 -2(4) (xxi) by claiming
that he would have the Truck completed and delivered in time for the 2013 ice cream season,
specifically stating it would be completed and delivered by February of 2013.
26. Plaintiff acted unlawfully by engaging in fraudulent or deceptive conduct which
created a likelihood of confusion or of misunderstanding under 73 P.S. § 201 -2(4) (xxi) by originally
informing Plaintiff that the Truck had 71,000 miles on it when it in fact had approximately 101,000
miles on it.
27. A transaction for goods and services took place in that Defendant agreed to outfit and
deliver the Truck to Plaintiff in exchange for $48,000.00.
28. Plaintiff reasonably relied on Defendant's fraudulent or deceptive conduct in claiming
that the Truck would be delivered in time for the ice cream season and would have approximately
71,000 miles on it, when in fact, neither statement was true.
29. As a direct result of Plaintiff s reliance on Defendant's assertions, Plaintiff was forced
to purchase another truck at the last minute at additional costs.
30. As noted above, because Defendant acted unlawfully under the PUTPCPL, this Court
has the discretion to award Plaintiff treble damages and any additional relief it deems necessary.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant for treble damages in an
amount that is equal or less than the arbitration limits of $50,000.00 along with attorney fees and
costs of suit.

Hi Bill
You never have to apologize for asking questions. That's what I'm here for.
If I get the deposit next week, then I can have it ready about mid -Feb. My crew will be taking a few days off
over the Christmas and New Years holidays, but I can go ahead and start ordering equipment and find the right
truck, and have it at the shop ready to start asap.
