GROUP, INC.
Defendants
PETITION TO STRIKE OR OPEN JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION
AND NOW, comes the Defendants, The Fitness Company Ownership Group and
the Fitness Company Holdings Group, Inc., by and through their undersigned
attorneys, Anderson, Gulotta & Hicks, P.c., and files the within Petition to Strike
or Open Judgment by Confession, and in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Cocoa Enterprises, Inc. by information and belief is a
Pennsylvania Corporation with offices at 4718 Old Gettysburg Road,
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055.
2. Defendant, The Fitness Company Ownership Group (hereinafter the
"Ownership Group"), is a Delaware Corporation with offices located
at 118 Headquarters Plaza, Morristown, NJ 07960.
3. Defendant, The Fitness Company Holdings Group, Inc. (hereinafter
the "Holdings Group"), is a Delaware Corporation with offices located
at 118 Headquarters Plaza, Morristown, NJ 07960.
4. Plaintiff is the owner and lessor of certain real property located at 1249
Cocoa Avenue, Hershey, PA known as the Cocoa Court Club.
5. On February I, 1998, Plaintiff and Defendant, The Fitness Company
Ownership Group, executed a written lease for the Cocoa Court Club
("The Lease") with a term beginning February 1, 1998 and ending
December 31, 2012. A true and correct copy of the Lease is attached
hereto as "Exhibit A" , incorporated herein by reference and made a
part hereof.
6. The Plaintiff and the Ownership Group also executed a written
amendment to the Lease dated November 30, 2000. A true and correct
copy of the Lease Amendment is attached hereto and marked "Exhibit
B", incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
7. Defendant Ownership group took possession of the leased premises on
February I, 1998 and has occupied the premises continually thereafter.
8. Beginning in November, 2004, Defendant Ownership Group began
negotiating with Plaintiff for a buyout of the remaining term of the
lease period.
9. On February 4, 2005, Plaintiff filed a Complaint for Confession of
Judgment in this court, alleging that the Defendants 1) failed to pay
rent and other sums due for the months of November 2004, December
2004, and January, 2005, and 2) failing to expend a minimum of $15,000
for alterations or major repairs to the Cocoa Court Club.
10. On February 4, 2005 attorney John R. Fenstermacher appeared for the
Defendants and confessed judgment against the Defendants in the
amount of $1,971,284.67, relying on an unspecified warrant of attorney
attached to the Complaint in Confession of Judgment as authorization
for confessing judgment against the Defendants. A true and correct
copy of the Complaint for Confession of Judgment is attached hereto
and marked "Exhibit C", incorporated herein by reference and made a
part hereof.
11. On February 7, 2005 Plaintiff served Defendants, by first class mail,
with a Notice Under Rule 2958.1 of Judgment and Execution Thereon,
a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto and marked
"Exhibit D", incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
I. Petition to Strike Based on Matters Evident on the Record
12. The Confession of Judgment entered against Defendants Holdings
Group and Ownership Group is invalid based on defects appearing on
the face of the record and should be stricken for the following reasons:
A. Neither the Lease Agreement nor the Guaranty contain terms that
authorize the Plaintiff to enter Judgment by Confession against
Defendant Holdings Group, and as such, Plaintiff has no authority
to confess judgment against Defendant Holdings Group.
B. Article 34 of the Lease requires the Plaintiff to deliver written notice
of an intention to file a confession of judgment 10 days prior to
judgment by confession being entered against the Defendant
Ownership Group. The Plaintiff did not deliver such written
notice of intention to file a confession of judgment to the Defendant
Ownership Group, nor did the Plaintiff even aver that such written
notice of intention to file a confession of judgment was ever
delivered. The delivery of written notice of the intention to file a
confession of judgment is a condition precedent to the Lease's grant
of authority to confess judgment against Defendant Ownership
Group. Absent the delivery of a written notice of intention to file a
confession of judgment, neither Plaintiff nor its attorney has
authority to enter judgment against Defendant Ownership Group.
Plaintiff's failure to deliver notice of such intention and failure to
aver such delivery makes Plaintiff's Complaint for Confession of
Judgment invalid, and it should be stricken.
II. Petition to Open Based on Matters Outside the Record
13. In the alternative, if the Confession of Judgment is not stricken, the
Judgment against Defendants Holdings Group and Ownership Group
should be opened because of considerations not apparent on the face
of the record. In support thereof, Defendants aver as follows:
A. The Guaranty attached to Plaintiff's Complaint does not validly
bind Defendant Holdings Group. Plaintiff relies on a "Guaranty"
executed by Defendant Holdings Group as grounds for confessing
judgment against Defendant Holdings Group. As stated above, the
Guaranty does not contain terms that authorize the Plaintiff to
enter Judgment by Confession against Defendant Holdings Group.
Even if it did, however, the Guaranty document is invalid as to the
Holdings Group because it was not executed by an officer with the
authority to bind the Holdings Group. The Guaranty document
attached to Plaintiff's Complaint was signed by "Stephen Smith",
however, under the Bylaws of the Holdings Group, Stephen Smith
is not authorized to bind the Holdings Group as a guarantor
without prior Board of Directors approval, and no such approval
was granted by the Board.
B. The Damages calculation against Defendant Ownership group
requires consideration of numerous factors that require information
not evident on the record, including total actual costs of
alterations/ major repairs, tenant carry-forward for
alterations/major repairs, calculation of Base Rental rate, and
calculation of Supplemental Rental Rate based on total income
generated by the premises. Because the damages cannot be
properly calculated without examining evidence outside the
record, the judgment must be opened.
C. Entry of Judgment by Confession was improper on the grounds
that the waiver of due process rights of notice and hearing was not
voluntary, intelligent and knowing. The Confession of Judgment
clause appears in a lease that was drafted by the Plaintiff in this
case, and Defendants were not able to adequately consult with
counsel prior to execution of the lease. Defendants sent a draft of
the Lease to outside counsel, but were not able to receive comments
on the draft prior to execution.
WHEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, Defendants The Fitness
Company Ownership Group and The Fitness Companies Holdings Group, Inc.
respectfully request that this Court enter a rule upon Plaintiff to show cause
why:
a. the Confession of Judgment entered against the Defendants should
not be stricken, or in the alternative;
b. the Confession of Judgment entered against the Defendants should
not be opened.
The Defendants further request that the Rule to be entered by the Court include a
stay of execution of the Confessed Judgment pending resolution of the validity of
the Judgment.
Respectfully Submitted,
