NO. 05-2512 Civil Term
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff, Bayside Towing & Transport LLC t/d/b/a Bayside Auto
Transport (hereinafter referred to as "Bayside"), is a limited liability company organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland with a principal place of business
located at 5709 Williams Road, Hydes, Maryland 21082.
2. Defendant, H&A Jones Associated, Inc. t/d/b/a E.C. Gaines Auto
Transport (hereinafter referred to as "E.C. Gaines"), is a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with a principal place of
business located at 2 Appomattox Court, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.
3. Bayside, among other items, provides trucking services and transports
vehicles for auto dealers.
4. Bayside provided trucking and transport of vehicles on behalf of E.C.
Gaines on an open account or book account basis. See copy of book account Open
Balance Report and Customer Balance Detail attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibit "A".
At the special order and request of E.C. Gaines, with all special orders or
requests communicated orally between the parties, Bayside provided the trucking and
transport of vehicles on behalf of E.C. Gaines on the said open account or book account
basis and as shown on the invoices totaling a principal balance of Twelve Thousand Nine
Hundred and Thirty Dollars and 00/100 ($12,930.00) (See Exhibit "A") and specifying
the vehicle type, pick up and drop off locations and unit prices as provided to E.C.
Gaines. See copy of invoices from October 30, 2003 through January 30, 2004 (23 total
invoices) attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "B".
6. Bayside also charged E.C. Gaines Six Hundred Nineteen and 28/100
Dollars ($619.28) for damage caused by E.C. Gaines or one of its agents or
subcontractors to a vehicle transported under contract to Bayside. See copy of invoice
from Frankel Mid-Atlantic Collision Center attached as the fast page of Exhibit °B".
The trucking services provided by Bayside were of good quality, and the
prices charged were the fair and reasonable prices for such services in the industry.
8. All transports were completed by Bayside in a timely and workmanlike
manner and according to the standards of the trucking industry.
9. E.C. Gaines accepted all services without objection or complaint to
Bayside and otherwise E.C. Gaines orally agreed to pay Bayside for all trucking services
and vehicle damage as herein described above.
10. Services provided by Bayside to E.C. Gaines total Thirteen Thousand Five
Hundred Forty-Nine and 28/200 Dollars ($13,549.28), which represents the total
principal balance owed Bayside in the amount of Twelve Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty
Dollars and 00/100 ($12,930.00) and a damage cost of Six Hundred Nineteen and 28/100
Dollars ($619.28) as described above and after crediting E.C. Gaines for all payments and
other credits relating to E.C. Gaines transport of a number of vehicles on behalf of
Bayside (See Invoice No. 6589 which reflects a credit of Three Hundred Sixty Five and
00/100 Dollars ($365.00) and Invoice No.6590 which reflects a credit of Ninety and
00/100 Dollars ($90.00)). See Exhibits "A" and "B".
It. The relationship of the open account or book account was that E.C. Gaines
acknowledged invoices of Bayside and agreed by acceptance of both service and invoices
and by law to pay all invoices and further agreed to pay a one and one half percent (1.5%)
service charge per month for all accounts not paid within thirty (30) days.
12. Despite written demand by Bayside, E.C. Gaines has failed and refuses to
pay the total balance owed for the trucking and transportation services in the total
principal amount of Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Forty-Nine and 28/200 Dollars
($13,549.28), which represents the total principal balance due and owing after crediting
E.C. Gaines for all payments and other credits relating to E.C. Gaines transport of
vehicles for Bayside as well as finance charges due from March 1, 2004.
COUNT I
(BREACH OF CONTRACT)
13. The foregoing paragraphs are incorporated herein by reference as though fully
set forth below at length.
14. E.C. Gaines has refused and still does refuse to pay the principal balance due
and owing as of January 30, 2004 in the amount of Thirteen'I'housand Five Hundred Forty-
Nine and 28/200 Dollars ($13,549.28), which represents the; total principal balance owed
Bayside for services (in the amount of Twelve Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty and 00/100
Dollars ($12,930.00)) and for damages to a vehicle (in the amount of Six Hundred Nineteen
and 28/100 Dollars ($619.28)) with credits to E.C. Gaines for all payments and credits
relating to E.C. Gaines transport of vehicles on behalf of Bayside plus.
15. E.C. Gaines owes finance charges at the rate of One and One-Half Percent
(1.5%) per month from March 1, 2004 for a total of Two Hundred Three 24/100 Dollars
($203.24) per month.
16. E.C. Gaines has breached the contract with Bayside by failing to provide
payment to Bayside for trucking services.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Bayside Towing & Transport LLC t/d/b/a Bayside Auto
Transport, demands judgment against Defendant, H&A Jones Associated, Inc. t/d/b/a E.C.
Gaines Auto Transport, in the principal sum of Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Forty-Nine
and 28/200 Dollars ($13,549.28), plus all finance charges at a rate of One and One-Half

(UNJUST ENRICHMENT)
17. The foregoing paragraphs are incorporated herein by reference as though hilly
set forth below at length.
18. In the alternative, and in the event of no contractual relationship between the

parties by law, E.C. Gaines accepted all trucking and transportation services as described
above, which services were valuable to E.C. Gaines, without providing full payment to
Bayside.
19. In the alternative, E.C. Gaines has been unjustly enriched, based on the theory

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
DOCKET NO. 05-2512-CIVIL TERM
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
DEFENDANT'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
AND NOW comes Defendant, H & A Jones Associated, Inc. t/d/b/a E.C. Gaines
Auto Transport, by and through its attorneys, the Offices of Fenstermacher and
Associates, P.C., and files these Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs Complaint as
follows:
1. Preliminary Objection Raising Legal Insufficiency (Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(4)).
1. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(4) permits preliminary objections for legal insufficiency of
a pleading (demurrer).
2. Count II of Plaintiffs complaint purports to set forth a cause of action for unjust
enrichment.
3. According to Plaintiff's complaint, the relationship between the parties was based
upon an agreement between Plaintiff and Defendant for the trucking and
transport of vehicles by Plaintiff on behalf of Defendant on an open account or
book account basis.
4. Pennsylvania law is clear that the doctrine of unjust enrichment is inapplicable
where the relationship of the parties is based upon an express agreement.
Birchwood Lakes Community Assn, Inc. v. Comis, 296 Pa. Super 77, 442 A.2d
304(1982).
5. Accordingly, Count II of Plaintiffs complaint is legally insufficient and should be
dismissed with prejudice.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that Count II of Plaintiff's
complaint be dismissed with prejudice.
II. Preliminary Objection Raising Insufficient Specificity of Plaintiff's
Complaint (Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(3))
6. Defendant incorporates herein Paragraphs 1-5 above as though set forth at
length.
7. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(3) permits preliminary objections for "insufficient
specificity in a pleading."
8. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1019(a) requires that the material facts on which a cause of
action is based shall be stated in a concise and summary form.
9. This rule requires that the complaint give notice to the defendant of an asserted
claim and synopsize the essential facts to support the claim. Krajsa v.
Keypunch, Inc., 424 Pa. Super. 230, 622 A.2d 335 (1993).
10. In addition, Pa. R.C.P. No. 1019(f) provides that averments of time, place and
items of special damage shall be specifically stated.
11.To determine if a pleading meets Pennsylvania's specificity requirements, a court
must ascertain whether the facts alleged are sufficiently specific so as to enable
a defendant to prepare its defense. Smith v. Wagner, 403 Pa. Super. 316, 588
A.2d 1308 (1991).
12. According to Plaintiff's complaint, the relationship between the parties was
based upon an agreement between Plaintiff and Defendant for the trucking and
transport of vehicles by Plaintiff on behalf of Defendant on an open account or
book account basis.
13. Plaintiff's complaint avers that Plaintiff maintained a running book account of all
debits and credits for services provided to Defendant by Plaintiff, and that the
services provided to Defendant total $13,549.28, which represents the total
balance owed to Plaintiff, including a damage cost of $619.28, after crediting
Defendant for all payments and other credits. Plaintiff also claims that Defendant
owes finance charges in the amount of $203.24 per month from March 1, 2004,
but it is unclear whether these charges are included in the $13,549.28 total.
14. Plaintiff failed to attach as an exhibit to its complaint a copy of the book account,
and Plaintiffs complaint fails to specify in anyway how the charges claimed to be
due and owing are made up.
15. Instead, Plaintiff's complaint references 16 invoices dating from October 30, 2003
to January 30, 2004 attached to the complaint as Exhibit "A."
16. However, Exhibit "A" includes a total of 23 invoices, dating from October 15,
2003 to January 30, 2004 totaling $13,740, and an estimate from Frankel Mid
Atlantic Collision Center in the amount of $619.28, for a grand total of
$14,359.28.
17. Moreover, two (2) of the invoices attached to Plaintiff's complaint under Exhibit
"A," which total $2,340 are made out to A + M Motors and A + M Auto sales, not
to Defendant.
18. Proper pleading in an action on a book account requires the pleader to attach a
copy of the account to the pleading, and the account must be more than an
unintelligible list of figures, but must be clear and definite charges, not lumped
but itemized, showing the nature of the transactions. C-E Glass v. Ryan, 34
Beaver 179, 70 Pa. D. &. C.2d 251 (Pa. Com. PI. 1975).
19. Furthermore, Defendant is entitled to greater specificity than a lump sum
recitation of damages. General State Authority v. Lawrie and Green, 356 A.2d
851 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1976). The lumping of charges is improper in complaints for
contract actions or in assumpsit because the defendant is entitled to know how
the charges are made up. Yanko v. Donaldson, 65 Pa. D. &. C. 341
(Northampton Com. PI. 1948); Urbanus v. Turowski, 14 Pa. D. &. C. 546
(Luzerne Com. PI. 1930). Items of credit must be listed. Hood Rubber Products
Co. v. Quality Tire Co., 9 Pa. D. &. C. 416 (Luzerne Com. Pl. 1927).
20. Plaintiffs complaint clearly fails to apprise Defendant of how the charges are
made up. Among other things, it is unclear exactly what amounts Defendant is
alleged to owe and for which invoices, how payments by Defendant were
credited, what other credits were given, the total amounts credited to Defendant's
account, and how finance charges were calculated.
21. In addition, Plaintiff's complaint fails to specifically set forth the nature of the
relationship between the Plaintiff, Defendant and the Defendant's customers, as
well as the duties the respective parties owed to one another.
22. Finally, Plaintiff has failed to plead any facts to support its claim that Defendant is
liable to Plaintiff in the amount of $619.28 for a damaged vehicle.
23. Plaintiffs complaint clearly lacks sufficient specificity to apprise Defendant of the
issues to be litigated, to allow it to adequately prepare and assert defenses to
Plaintiff's allegations, and to identify and join any potentially responsible parties
as additional defendants.
24. Plaintiffs complaint is sorely deficient and undeniably fails to meet the fact-
pleading specificity requirements of Pa. R.C.P. 1019(a).
25. Defendant will be unduly prejudiced if it is made to answer Plaintiff's complaint.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
dismiss Plaintiffs complaint with prejudice, or, in the alternative, order Plaintiff to amend
its complaint to plead with more specificity.
III. Preliminary Objection Raising Failure to Conform to Law or Rule of
Court (Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2)).
26. Defendant incorporates herein Paragraphs 1-25 above as though set forth at
length.
27. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a)(2) authorizes preliminary objections for failure of a
pleading to conform to law or rule of court.
28. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1019(1) provides that when any claim is based upon a writing, the
pleader shall attach a copy of the writing, or if the writing is not accessible to the
pleader, it is sufficient to so state, together with the reason, and to set forth the
substance in writing.
29. Plaintiff's complaint is based upon an open account or book account.
30. Plaintiff failed to attach the book account to its complaint or to set forth the
reason why the same is not accessible to it, together with the substance thereof.
31. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1019(h) provides that when any claim or defense is based upon
an agreement, the pleading shall state specifically if the agreement is oral or
written.
32. Plaintiffs complaint alleges that Plaintiff, at the special order and request of
Defendant, provided trucking and transport services on behalf of Defendant on
an open account or book account basis. Plaintiffs complaint also alleges that
Defendant agreed to pay all invoices and further agreed to pay a 1.5% service
charge per month for all accounts not paid within 30 days.
33. However, Plaintiff's complaint fails to state whether the agreement between the
parties was written or oral, and if written, to attach the writing as an exhibit to the
complaint.
34. Pa. R.C.P. 1019(a) requires that the material facts on which a cause of action is
based shall be stated in a concise and summary form.
35. As set forth more fully above, Plaintiff has failed to plead the material facts upon
which its claim is based.
36. Plaintiff's complaint clearly fails to conform to the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
Procedure.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that Plaintiff's complaint be
dismissed with prejudice, or in the alternative, that Plaintiff be ordered to amend its
complaint to comply with the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.

forth below at length.
24. Admitted.
25. Admitted.
26. Admitted.
27. Admitted in part, denied in part. During the entire length of engagement with
E.C. Gaines, Plaintiff Bayside delivered two vehicles to the wrong location on one occasion only
and Bayside paid all fees and expenses related to delivery of the vehicle to the correct location
(approximately two miles away). It is denied that on "multiple occasions" Bayside transported
vehicles to the wrong location.
28. Denied. At no time did Bayside fail to transport a shipment of vehicles to the
proper location in a timely manner.
29. Denied. It is specifically denied that on multiple occasions the delivery of
vehicles by Bayside was "poor" and/or any vehicles required repair. To the contrary, E.C. Gaines
has failed to provide any documents, information, invoices or the like to confirm or verify any
damage to any vehicles or to further substantiate the allegation that any delivery should be deemed
"poor".
30. Denied. Bayside denies that any shipments other than as described above were
delivered to incorrect locations. Plaintiff Bayside is without knowledge or information sufficient
to form a belief as to the truth or falsity of the remaining averments contained in paragraph 30 and
strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
31. Denied. Plaintiff Bayside denies that it delivered vehicles late to correct
locations. By way of further response, the remaining averments contained in paragraph 31 are
3
conclusions of law to which no responsive pleading is required.
32. Denied. It is again denied that any shipment of vehicles were "poor in nature" and
that any vehicles delivered by Bayside required repairs. By way of further response, Plaintiff
Bayside is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth or falsity of
the remaining averments contained in paragraph 32 and strict proof thereof is demanded at trial.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Bayside Towing & Transport, LLC t/d/b/a Bayside Auto Transport,
respectfully requests this Honorable Court enter judgment in its favor and against Defendant, H&A
Jones Associated, Inc. t/d/b/a E.C. Gaines Auto Transport and further dismiss all counterclaims with

COUNT II
(TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIPS)
33. Plaintiff Bayside incorporates the foregoing paragraphs herein by reference as
though fully set forth below at length.
34. Admitted.
35. Denied. Plaintiff Bayside is without knowledge or information sufficient to
perform a belief as to the truth or falsity of the averments contained in paragraph 35 and strict proof
thereof is demanded at trial.
36. Denied. Plaintiff Bayside was not aware of any existing contracts for trucking and
transport of custo per's vehicle between Defendant E.C. Gaines and aforementioned customers;
however, Plaintiff Bayside was aware that Defendant E.C. Gaines had been engaged or had some
form of business relationship with various customers.
37. Denied. Plaintiff Bayside was unaware of any contractual relationship between
Defendant E.C. Gaines and Manheim AA.
38. Denied. At no time has Plaintiff Bayside or any employees, agents or
representative of Bayside solicited business from customers of E.C. Gaines and Defendant E.C.
Gaines has failed to list and/or further describe any such customers. By way of further response,
there have been several occasions when customers of E.C. Gaines have contacted Plaintiff Bayside
to engage their services and have indicated that they were no longer using the services of Defendant
E.C. Gaines as a result of problems with delivery. By way of further response, the averments
contained in paragraph 38 are conclusions of law to which no responsive pleading is required.
39. Denied. The averments contained in paragraph 39 are conclusions of law to
which no responsive pleading is required. To the extent that a response maybe appropriate, Plaintiff
Bayside did not attempt to solicit any business from customers of E.C. Gaines by providing business
cards in a delivery envelope. On one occasion, a customer requested a business card and a card was
then provided. However, it was the policy of Bayside to instruct drivers not to leave a business card
in a delivery envelope or to even give a business card to a customer if requested at the time of
delivery.
40. The averments contained in paragraph 40 are conclusions of law to which no
responsive pleading is required and is, therefore, denied. In the event that a response may be
appropriate, Plaintiff Bayside did not attempt to have Defendant E.C. Gaines removed from the
5
authorized transport list at Manheim Auto Auction. However, Plaintiff Bayside did inform Manheim
AA of the substantial monies Defendant E.C. Gaines has failed to pay for services provided and
Plaintiff Bayside sought the help of Manheim AA to speak with E.C. Gaines regarding their failure
to make full and timely payment.
41. Denied. The averments contained in paragraph 41 are conclusions of law to
which no responsive pleading is required and, therefore, is denied. By way of further response,
Plaintiff Bayside did not interfere with any contractual relationships between E.C. Gaines and any
customers.
42. Denied. The averments contained in paragraph 42 are conclusions of law to
which no responsive pleading is required and, therefore, is denied. By way of further response,
Plaintiff Bayside did not interfere with any contractual relationships between Defendant E.C. Gaines
and Manheim AA.
43. Denied. The averments contained in paragraph 43 are conclusions of law to
which no responsive pleading is required and, therefore, is denied. By way of further response,
Plaintiff Bayside did not interfere with any contractual relationships between customers and
Manheim AA. In addition, Plaintiff Bayside is without knowledge or information sufficient to form
a belief as to the truth or falsity of the remaining averments contained in paragraph 43 and strict
proof thereof is demanded at trial.
44. Denied. Plaintiff Bayside is without knowledge or information sufficient to form
a belief as to the truth or falsity of the averments contained in paragraph 44 and strict proof thereof
6
is demanded at trial. By way of further response, the allegations contained in paragraph 44 are vague
and incomplete as Defendant E.C. Gaines has failed to quantify the alleged "substantial loss of
revenue".
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Bayside Towing & Transport, LLC t/d/b/a Bayside Auto Transport,
respectfully requests this Honorable Court enter judgment in its favor and against Defendant, H&A
Jones Associated, Inc. t/d/b/a E.C. Gaines Auto Transport and further dismiss all counterclaims with
