V. : NO. 2014 - 7 33 C !v` �/�✓1
CREAM CUISINE, INC. d/b/a IN LAW AND EQUITY
BRUSTERS ICE CREAM,
Defendant
PETITION OF PLAINTIFF FOR PRELIMINARY AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION
1. The plaintiff is Karen B. Truxal (hereinafter"Truxal"), an adult individual
residing at 3002 Uniontown Road, Westminster, Maryland 21158.
2. The defendant is Cream Cuisine, Inc. d/b/a Brusters Ice Cream (hereinafter
"Cream Cuisine"), a Pennsylvania corporation with its principal place of business located at
1126 York Road, Gettysburg, Adams County, Pennsylvania 17325, and a registered office at 239
Skyline View, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
3. The captioned case involves a breach of contract and unjust enrichment action by
Truxal for a default by Cream Cuisine under the terms of a note.
4. Truxal has filed a complaint contemporaneously with the filing of this petition,
and the facts set forth in the complaint are incorporated herein by reference.
5. Truxal seeks to preclude Cream Cuisine from engaging in the partial or wholesale
liquidation of equipment and other personalty located at its principal place of business, 1126
York Road, Gettysburg, Adams County, Pennsylvania 17325.
6. Cream Cuisine operates an ice cream stand at its principal place of business, and
restricting the liquidation of equipment and other personalty will not restrict ordinary business
operations.
7. Restricting the liquidation of equipment and other personalty will, to the contrary,
preserve the status quo amongst the parties and prevent imminent and irreparable harm to Truxal
before the merits of the case can be heard and determined.
8. The relief requested will prevent Cream Cuisine from liquidating its main assets
in anticipation of litigation.
9. Truxal has reason to believe that the business will soon cease to operate and
attempt to liquidate all of its assets.
10. The equipment and other personalty located at the principal place of business
constitute the most substantial assets held by Cream Cuisine, from which Truxal may potentially
recover as a result of the present litigation.
11. Granting the injunction will not harm Cream Cuisine, as it will still be able to
operate the equipment and personalty to attempt to meet its operational expenses and generate
profit.
12. On the contrary, not granting the injunction will allow Cream Cuisine the
opportunity to liquidate assets, which serves no company purpose as the company will soon be
insolvent and cease operating.
13. The liquidation of any equipment and personalty by Cream Cuisine will prevent
Truxal from being adequately compensated by an award of damages, as the company has little in
the way of other assets.
14. The injunction requested is reasonably suited to abate the risk of Cream Cuisine
liquidating equipment and personalty and will not cause harm to the business operations
provided inventory is specifically excluded from the injunction.
15. The public interest will not be adversely affected by granting the injunction as this
dispute revolves around several private parties.
16. There are substantial legal questions presented in the Complaint that the Court
will need to resolve in determining the rights of the parties, and Truxal has a clear right to the
injunction requested.
17. Cream Cuisine has defaulted under the terms of the note by not making payments,
and it is likely that Truxal will prevail on the merits.
18. Concurrence in the relief requested by this Petition was not sought as Defendant
is not currently represented by counsel.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Karen B. Truxal respectfully requests this Honorable Court to
(a) issue a preliminary injunction restricting Cream Cuisine, Inc. from liquidating any equipment
or personalty, excluding inventory, and set a hearing for the parties to present argument as to the
merits of a permanent injunction, (b) set a hearing at which time the parties may present
argument as to the merits of both preliminary and permanent injunctions or(c) provide such
other relief as is just and proper.

ANSWER
And now, comes the Defendant, Cream Cuisine, pro se, in answer to the Plaintiffs
Complaint in Civil Action, averring as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted. It is further admitted that Truxal served continuously as President of
Cream Cuisine since its incorporation in 2005 until she gave notice on August 5,
2014 of her resignation with immediate effect. In her capacity as President, she had
overall responsibility for supervising the business and its operations.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Denied. Payments toward the principal amount of the Note total $50,455.14.
7. Denied. The remaining amount due is $24,544.86.
8. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that the Note provides for
reasonable attorney fees of five per cent (5%) of the face value of the Note. It is
denied that the amount as stated in paragraph 8 represents five per cent of the
outstanding balance because Cream Cuisine disputes the outstanding balance.
9. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Truxal exercised her option
to demand payment of the balance and that Truxal mailed a demand letter to each of
the remaining shareholders. It is denied that Truxal mailed said demand letter on
July 25. Truxal mailed the demand letter on July 23. Defendant is without
knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth that Truxal
mailed a demand letter to the principal place of business because as of the date of
this Answer Truxal is the sole individual with access to the principal place of
business. As such this averment is denied.
10. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that Cream Cuisine made 29
monthly payments from April 4, 2006 through August 12, 2008. It is further
admitted that no further payments were made from August 12, 2008 through July
12, 2014. On or about July 12, 2014 Truxal in her capacity as President took actions
that removed other board members and shareholders of the corporation from direct
access to Cream Cuisine's bank account and to Cream Cuisine's on-line accounting
software (Quickbooks). In consequence, Cream Cuisine is without knowledge or
information sufficient to form a belief that Truxal did not undertake further
payments to the Note from July 12, 2014 to date. As such this averment is denied.
11. The Defendant's Answers to paragraphs 1-10 are incorporated herein.
12. Admitted.
13. Denied. The damages sustained by Truxal total $25,772.10 (principal balance of
$24,544.86 + 5% reasonable attorney fees of $1,227.24).
14. The Defendant's Answers to 1-13 are incorporated herein.
15. The averments of paragraph 15 represent conclusions of law to which no responsive
pleading is required. As such these averments are denied.
NEW MATTER
16. Truxal's mother, Fay Stambaugh Truxal, agreed to lend Plaintiff $75,000 after ACNB
Bank unexpectedly decreased the amount of the loan it had initially promised for
the purchase of the property on which the business is located.
17. Truxal's mother in turn secured a loan for $75,000 on March 1, 2006 through
Orrstown Bank's Stonehedge office in Carlisle. The loan number was 160033122.
18. In her capacity as President of Cream Cuisine, Truxal signed a Note obligating Cream
Cuisine to repay Truxal in order that she could repay her mother. The Note is dated
March 16, 2006.
19. Payments were not made directly to Truxal but rather were made to Truxal's
mother.
20. Every month beginning on April 4, 2006 until August 12, 2008, Barbara Adams in
her (former) capacity as Treasurer of Cream Cuisine made payments in person to
the Orrstown Bank account of Truxal's mother. The account number was T000132.
21. Payments to this account ended with the August 12, 2008 installment owing to the
death of Truxal's mother on August 19, 2008.
22. Payments from April 2006 through August 2008 totaled $50,455.14 (plus $7.50 in
late fees).
23. All payments to the bank account of Truxal's mother were made by checks drawn
from two accounts atACNB Bank. The account numbers are 2226871 and 2227509.
24. Truxal did not produce evidence of principal amount due when she presented her
demand for payment of the outstanding balance dated July 22, 2014 and mailed July
23, 2014.
25. Truxal's demand letter requested payment in full by Monday July 28, 2014.
26. Truxal presented conflicting claims as to the outstanding balance of the debt, to wit:
Truxal's demand letter dated July 22, 2014 claims a principal balance due of
$34,637.28 while Truxal's complaint dated July 29 claims a principal balance due of
$46,534.40.
27. Paragraphs 16-26 are incorporated by reference as though set forth fully herein.
28. The principal balance due under terms of the Note is substantially less than the
amount Truxal claims. Assuming Truxal effected no further payments from July 12,
2014 to date, payments toward the Note totaled $50,455.14, leaving an outstanding
balance of $24,544.86.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests this Honorable Court to enter judgment in consideration
of the averments as contained in this Answer and New Matter.

PETITION OF PLAINTIFF TO LIFT INJUNCTION WITH CONCURRENCE
COMES NOW, Karen B. Truxal, by and through her attorneys, Bark Scherer LLC, and
files this Petition, averring as follows:
1. This breach of contract action was initiated on July 29, 2014, with the filing of a
complaint by Karen B. Truxal (hereinafter "Truxal") against Cream Cuisine, Inc. d/b/a Brusters
Ice Cream (hereinafter "Cream Cuisine"), a Pennsylvania corporation with its principal place of
business located at 1126 York Road, Gettysburg, Adams County, Pennsylvania 17325, and a
registered office at 239 Skyline View, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013.
2. Also on July 29, 2014, Truxal filed a Petition for Preliminary and Permanent
Injunction ("Petition"), seeking to restrict Cream Cuisine from liquidating equipment and other
personalty located at Cream Cuisine's principal place of business.
3. This Honorable Court granted the relief requested in the Petition on a temporary
basis, per a July 30, 2014 Order, and set a hearing on the merits of the Petition for August 1,
2014.
4. Following the hearing on August 1, 2014, the Court entered an Order extending
the preliminary injunction restricting Cream Cuisine from liquidating any equipment or other
personalty located at Cream Cuisine's principal place of business.
5. Because Cream Cuisine had not yet been served with a copy of the preliminary
injunction at the time of the August 1, 2014, hearing, the Court also provided in its Order that the
parties could contact the Court to reschedule an additional hearing on the merits of the Petition,
seeking the injunction.
6. The parties have now reached an agreement whereby this case shall remain open
for the time being, but the injunction shall be lifted.
7. This will allow Truxal to remove equipment from the business location in
furtherance of an agreement reached between the parties.
8. Counsel for Truxal has sought and received the concurrence of Cream Cuisine in
the relief requested by the present petition.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Karen B. Truxal respectfully requests this Honorable Court lift
the injunction entered previously in this matter.
