DEFENDANT
05-0003 CIVIL TERM
IN RE: PRELIMINARY OBJECTION TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAIN
BEFORE BAYLEY, J.
OPINION AND ORDER OF COURT
Bayley, J., March 24, 2005:--
Plaintiff, Steven M. Kowalkowski, filed a complaint against defendant,
Recupero. Plaintiff avers that he and defendant entered into a verbal contrac for
$932.90, for defendant to perform specialized machining work on cylinder hea
1968 Mustang. Plaintiff delivered the cylinder heads to defendant and paid hi the
$932.90. The oral agreement was amended to add the installation of hardene, seats
for $100 which plaintiff paid to defendant. Defendant undertook the work and amaged
the cylinder heads. Plaintiff seeks damages from defendant in the amount of 2,058.78
"together with interest, costs of suit and reasonable counsel fees." Defendant iled a
preliminary objection to plaintiff's complaint averring:
Plaintiff's Complaint fails to conform to Law in that Plaintiff requ
award of reasonable counsel fees in a contract action, whic
contrary to law.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully request that Plaintiff's co plaint
be dismissed. (Emphasis added.) ,
05-0003 CIVIL TERM
There can be no recovery for attorney fees absent an express statuto
authorization, a clear agreement by the parties, or some other established ex eption.
Merlino v. Delaware County, 728 A.2d 949 (Pa. 1999). In Hudock v. Done al
Mutual Insurance Company, 438 Pa. 272 (1969), the Supreme Court of Pen sylvania
concluded that preliminary objections in the nature of a demurrer are an inap
means by which to challenge the legality of damages sought in a complaint.
preliminary objection in the nature of the motion to strike off impertinent matte is the
appropriate means through which to challenge an erroneous prayer for dama es.
,
In the case sub judice, defendant has not filed a preliminary objection 0 strike
plaintiff's claim for attorney fees. Rather, his objection seeks to have the com laint
dismissed (a demurrer). Accordingly, the following order is entered.
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this
day of March, 2005, the preliminary objecti n of
defendant to plaintiff's complaint, IS DISMISSED.
