Plaintiff
vs
TIMOTHY HOGG
Defendant
CIVIL ACTION
No. 2013-05738
Plaintiff's Preliminary Objections to Defendant's Preliminary Objections
Count 1: Insufficient specificity in pleading
1. Defendant alleges in count 1 of their preliminary objections that Plaintiff fails to state a
claim upon which relief can be granted.
2. Plaintiff makes 9 different claims for relief.
3. The pleading is insufficient to alert plaintiff which claim is a claim upon which relief
cannot be granted.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff Gregory Huss moves this Honorable Court to strike defendant Timothy
Hogg's preliminary objection and direct him to file an answer within twenty days of the order.
Count 2: Legal insufficiency in a pleading
4. Defendant alleges in count 3 of their preliminary objections that plaintiff makes claims
based on a contract while including claims that sound in tort.
5. Defendant alleges in count 4 of their preliminary objections that plaintiff claims are
barred by gist of the action.
6. Gist of the action does not preclude tort and contract claims to be asserted together in a
complaint.
7. Plaintiff asserts claims based on trespass and the lease agreement.
8. The duty not to trespass exists outside of the lease agreement.
9. Gist of the action precludes a tort action where the breached duty is created by a contract.
10. Gist of the action does not apply to Plaintiff's claims as the duty to not trespass exists
outside of the lease agreement.
11. The pleading is legally insufficient.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff Gregory Huss moves this Honorable Court to strike defendant Timothy
Hogg's preliminary objection and direct him to file an answer within twenty days of the order.
Count 3 insufficiency in pleading
12. Count 2 of the preliminary objections by defendant states that plaintiff fails to make out a
case for attorney's fees.
13. The original pleading states that
a. There is a writing, the lease agreement.
b. A copy of this writing is unavailable to Huss, but is available to Hogg.
c. The terms of the writing may include a provision for the award of attorney's fees
for the successful suit of enforcing rights under the lease agreement.
d. If the writing in Hogg's possession states that provision, then Huss, upon success
of this action, is entitled to attorney's fees.
14. Defendant makes no allegations as to how that pleading is insufficient.
15. Defendant failed to plead with specificity.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff Gregory Huss moves this Honorable Court to strike defendant Timothy
Hogg's preliminary objection and direct him to file an answer within twenty days of the order.
