PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF DEFENDANT, CHRISTIAN PUBLICATIONS INC
TO COMPLAINT OF PLAINTIFF, THE PARABLE GROUP INC
AND NOW, comes Christian Publications, Inc., (hereinafter "CPP'), Defendant, by its
attorneys, Nauman, Smith, Shissler & Hall, LLP, and files the following Preliminary Objections to
the Complaint filed by The Parable Group, Inc. (hereinafter "Parable") pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028:
Objection 1 - Failure of Pleading to Conform to Rule of Court or Law
On or about September 14, 2005, Parable filed a Complaint ("Complaint') against
CPI.
2. The Complaint was served by Sheriff on September 15, 2005, upon John Martzall,
Information Services Manager for CPI.
Paragraph 3 of the Complaint alleges: "On the dates, in the amounts, and for the prices
set forth in a true and correct copy of the Plaintiff's Invoices hereto attached, marked Exhibit "A"
and made a part hereof, Plaintiff, at the special instance and oral request of the Defendant, sold and
delivered goods, wares and merchandise of the kind and description set forth on said Exhibit to the
total amount of Fifteen Thousand, Nine Hundred Ninety-One Dollars and Zero Cents ($15,991.00)."
4. In accordance with Rule 1019(a) "The material facts on which a cause of action or
defense is based shall be stated in a concise summary form." See Pa. R.C.P. 1019(a).
5. Parable failed to state the material facts upon which its asserted cause of action is
based, instead relying upon invoices attached to its Complaint at Exhibit "A."
6. The attachment of three invoices, each presumably involving a separate transaction,
does not satisfy the rules of fact pleading.
7. Further, the attachment of Exhibit A, consisting of three invoices, constitutes evidence
which is improperly attached to the Complaint.
In accordance with Rule 1019(a), it is insufficient for a plaintiff to attach evidence to
its complaint and assert that the contents include the material facts to which a response is sought.
9. Parable failed to set forth the material facts in separately enumerated paragraphs, as
required by Rule 1019.
10. Specifically, Parable failed to set forth the date of the alleged agreement(s), the
amount of the alleged agreement(s), date(s) of delivery of the alleged goods to be delivered, whether
the goods were accepted, or the date upon which agreement was secured for the invoiced goods, and
with whom.
11. Parable's failure to set forth each material fact in separately enumerated paragraphs
precludes CPI from providing an answer to the unspecified and grouped allegations.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Christian Publications, Inc., hereby objects to the Complaint, and
the attached exhibits referenced therein, for failure to conform to rule of court or law to comply with
Pa. R.C.P. 1019, and respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant its preliminary objection in
accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(2), and dismiss the Complaint.
Objection 2 - Insufficient Specificity in a Pleading Under Rule 1028(a)(3)
12. Paragraphs 1 through 11 above are hereby incorporated by reference as though fully
set forth herein.
13. Parable failed to plead with sufficient specificity the material facts of its alleged
claim.
14. Parable did not plead the specific facts necessary to establish its unspecified claim in
assumpsit.
15. The failure of Parable to assert each of the material facts required to prove its cause of
action with sufficient specificity such that CPI is enabled to respond, constitutes insufficient
specificity under Rule 1028(a)(3).
WHEREFORE, because The Parable Group, Inc., has failed to plead material facts with
sufficient specificity to enable Defendant, Christian Publications, Inc., to respond, Christian
Publications, Inc., respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant its preliminary objection
pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028(a)(3), and dismiss the Complaint, or in the alternative, to direct Plaintiff
to file a more specific pleading, and grant such other relief it deems appropriate.
