IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
: .1183
No. 2006 CV 243-(DJ APPEAL)
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DEFENDANTS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
1. Plaintiff, James E. Davis (hereinafter "Plaintiff" or "Mr. Davis") commenced the
instant action by filing a Complaint in this Honorable Court on May 11, 2006.
2. Defendant, Rachael Wynn (hereinafter "Defendant" or Ms. Wynn) was served by
said Complaint via first class mail on May 15, 2006.
3. This Complaint was filed as a result of Defendant's Notice of Appeal and
Praecipe requesting the prothonotary to enter a rule as of course upon the Plaintiff to
file a complaint within twenty (20) days after service of the rule, which Defendant filed
as a result of a default judgment entered against her by District Judge Thomas Placey.
4. The instant action purports to be a breach of contract claim against the
Defendant that arises from an alleged oral agreement entered into by the parties
wherein Defendant supposedly agreed to reimburse Plaintiff for shared living expenses.
5. In several respects, Plaintiffs Complaint is violative of the Pennsylvania Rules of
Civil Procedure and is objectionable.
MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT FOR FAILURE TO CONFORM TO
RULE OF COURT PURSUANT To P.A. R.C.P. 1028 (A) (2)
6. As stated, on May 11, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Complaint for Breach of Contract
against Defendant.
7. The Defendant was subsequently served with said Complaint on May 15, 2006.
A true and correct copy of the Complaint is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibit "A."
8. Plaintiffs Complaint contains the Verification of his attorney, Stacy B. Wolf, Esq.,
and not the Verification of the Plaintiff.
9. The Verification to this Complaint does not comply with the requirements of
Pa.R.C.P. No. 1024.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter
an Order dismissing Plaintiffs Complaint for failure to comply with rule of court and
direct Plaintiff to file and serve a Complaint containing a Verification which complies with
Pa.R.C.P. No. 1024 within twenty (20) days.
MOTION TO STRIKE COUNT I OF PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT FOR FAILURE TO
CONFORM TO RULE OF COURT PURSUANT To P.A. R.C.P. 1028 (A) (2)
10. In paragraphs 3 and 4 of Plaintiffs Complaint, Plaintiff makes reference to certain
specific sums that were documented through lease, invoice, bill, and/or were paid
without attaching the applicable documents.
Page 2 of 6
11. Pa.R.C.P. 1019(h) requires the plaintiff to attach to the Complaint the document
or material part thereof upon which the Complaint is based.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter
an Order dismissing Plaintiffs Complaint for failure to comply with rule of court and
direct Plaintiff to file and serve a Complaint containing the documents upon which part
of the Complaint is based within twenty (20) days of the date of this Order.
MOTION TO STRIKE PARAGRAPH 9 OF PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT FOR INCLUSION
OF SCANDALOUS AND IMPERTINENT MATTER PURSUANT TO P.A. R.C.P. 1028
(A) (2)• -
12. Paragraph 9 of Plaintiffs Complaint alleges a scenario where Defendant lost the
underlying Magistrate District Judge hearing on its merits when in fact Plaintiff won this
hearing by default based upon Defendant's failure to attend said hearing due to
unforeseen circumstance.
13. Paragraph 9 in its current form is irrelevant, immaterial and inappropriate to the
cause of action set forth in the Complaint.
14. Accordingly, paragraph 9 in its current form prejudices Defendant by derogatorily
suggesting Defendant has little to no defense to Plaintiffs claim.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully request that this Honorable Court strike
Paragraph 9 of Plaintiffs Complaint.
MOTION TO STRIKE COUNT I OF PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT OR FOR A MORE
SPECIFIC PLEADING PURSUANT TO PA. R. CIV. P. 1028(a)(3).
15. Pa. R.Civ.P. 1019(a) provides:
Page 3 of 6
Material facts on which a cause of action or defense is based shall be stated in a
concise and summary form.
16. Pa. R.Civ.P. 1019(f) provides:
Averments of time, place and items of special damage shall be specifically stated.
17. Plaintiffs Complaint is violative of Pa. R.Civ.P. 1019(a) and (f) in that, if Plaintiff
alleges an oral contract, rather than written, Plaintiff must plead the facts constituting
said oral agreement with the required specificity.
18. Plaintiff has failed to plead when the agreement was entered into; the exact date
the agreement was to begin and end; the specific total amount Defendant was to repay
pursuant to the agreement; the individual items / expenses that the total amount to be
repaid represented; the cost of each individual item/ expense that made up the total
amount; and/or any specifics whatsoever regarding the underlying expenses or the
major terms of the agreement.
19. Additionally, Plaintiffs Complaint is deficient with regard to the specificity
requirements, as Plaintiff has made only general, and somewhat confusing, averments
that Defendant reneged on the agreement sometime before or after the relationship
between Plaintiff and Defendant ended (See Paragraphs 6 and 7 of Plaintiffs
Complaint).
20. Furthermore, Plaintiff has failed to plead with specificity the damages incurred by
Defendant's alleged breaches. Plaintiff merely alleges estimates of lump charges and
gross sums for damages without the required specificity as to the amount of the
damages incurred and how the claimed items of damages have been ascertained;
Page 4 of 6
specifically, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant owes him "in excess of $8,000.00" for
"shared costs of living, rent groceries and other living expenses." (See Paragraphs 3, 4,
5 and the "Wherefore Clause" of Plaintiffs Complaint).
21. Plaintiffs Complaint is clearly insufficient and fails utterly to give Defendant
adequate notice of what she must defend.
WHEREFORE, this Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court to
enter an order striking Count I of Plaintiffs Complaint or, in the alternative, compel
Plaintiff to re-plead said Count in accordance with Pa. R.Civ.P. 1019.
MOTION TO DIMISS PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT FOR LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY
(DEMURRER) PURSUANT To P.A. R.C.P. 1028 (A) (4)
22. As indicated, Count I of Plaintiffs Complaint is a breach of contract claim against
the Defendant that arises from an alleged oral agreement entered into by the parties
wherein Defendant supposedly agreed to reimburse Plaintiff for shared living expenses.
23. Plaintiff identifies as one of the terms of this oral agreement that Defendants
agreed to assume liabilities based upon a lease agreement; specifically, that Defendant
failed to reimburse Defendant for "rent, bills, groceries, and other living expenses." (See
Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of Plaintiffs Complaint) (emphasis added).
24. This oral agreement to answer for the debts of another violates the Statute of
Frauds.
Page 5 of 6
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully request that this Honorable Court dismiss
with prejudice Plaintiffs Complaint.

No. 2006 CV 217- (DJ APPEAL)
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT WITH NEW MATTER
AND NOW comes the Defendant, Rachel E. Wynn, by and through their attorney,
Shane B. Kope, Esquire, and files the following Answer with New Matter to Plaintiffs
Complaint as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Denied as stated. To the extent that this paragraph purports to summarize,
interpret or characterize the written agreement, that document speaks for itself, and the
averments of this paragraph are therefore denied.
6. Denied. To the contrary, given the circumstances of Defendant's finances and
prospects thereof at the time of the lease agreement, the Plaintiff was aware that
Defendant could not afford to pay half of the rental payments required pursuant to said
lease. Rather, the parties understood that Defendant would pay what she could afford
and that Plaintiff would pay the remainder without expectations of reimbursement,
especially considering the romantic nature of their relationship.
7. Admitted.
8. Denied. To the contrary, Defendant paid more in rental payments than
$317.50, which equals half of one (1) month's rental payment of $635.00.
9. Denied. To the contrary, given the circumstances of Defendant's finances and
prospects thereof at the time the utilities were of the lease agreement, the Plaintiff was
aware that Defendant could not afford to pay half of the rental payments required
pursuant to said lease. Rather, the parties understood that Defendant would pay what
she could afford and that Plaintiff would pay the remainder without expectations of
reimbursement, especially considering the romantic nature of their relationship.
10. Denied as stated. To the contrary, any amount of money that Plaintiff would
have paid to PPL and / or Comcast cable did not represent Defendant's share of these
utility bills as set forth in Paragraph 9 above. As to the remaining averments in this
Paragraph, Defendant is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as
to the truth of such averments; these averments are, therefore, denied and proof thereof
demanded, if relevant.
11. Admitted in part and denied in part. The Plaintiff did not agree to pay back
$393.30 during the course of the parties' relationship. By way of more specific answer
to the contrary, any money Plaintiff paid the Dairy Animal Hospital was for his own pet
Page 2 of 9
and, therefore, his own benefit. Further, any money Plaintiff paid to U-Haul was for his
own purposes, as he rented a U-Haul truck to move his personal property into the
residence at 516 Bedford Court; although Defendant did utilize this truck to move some
of her personal property into said residence as well, this was on Plaintiffs own accord'
and was certainly not based on any agreement to repay Plaintiff. It is admitted that the
Defendant agreed to repay the Plaintiff for his payment to American Eagle of $129.31
on her behalf.
12. Admitted.
13. Denied. The Defendant did not agree to repay the Plaintiff for various cash
loans totaling $2, 275.20. By way of more specific answer to the contrary, any money
Plaintiff paid to Defendant over the Christmas Holidays of 2003 and 2004 was intended
as a gift and was for the mutual benefit of both parties. As to the remaining subsections
of Paragraph 13, Respondent is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a
belief as to the truth of the existence of those averments. The averments are therefore
denied and proof thereof demanded, if relevant.
14. Denied as stated. To the contrary, the only money that Plaintiff advanced the
Defendant was $1080.18, which is the sum of payments to Midas Auto Service and
American Eagle as set forth in Paragraphs 11 and 12 of the Complaint and admitted to
in Paragraphs 11 and 12 above.
'Much of Defendant's personal property was already at Plaintiffs prior residence, as Defendant initially moved in
with Plaintiff in May, 2004. On a related note, one of the reasons Plaintiff wanted to move into the residence at 516
Bedford Court was so that he could get a dog.
Page 3 of 9
15. Denied as stated. To the contrary, the only payments for which Plaintiff
intended to be repaid was $1080.18 as set forth in Paragraph 14 above.
16. Denied. The parties never entered into any agreement for there to be
conditions set upon.
17. Denied as stated. The only amount for which Defendant was aware Plaintiff
intended to be repaid was the $1080.18 as set forth in Paragraph 14 above.
18. Denied as stated. The $50.00 weekly payment to Plaintiff was to repay him for
the $1080.18 as set forth in Paragraph 14 above. By way of further answer, Defendant
never agreed to obtain a personal loan.
19. Admitted in part and denied in part. While the Defendant admits that the $50.00
weekly payments to Plaintiff began in or around late October, 2005, the Defendant
denies that she made only two (2) payments; to the contrary, the Defendant made three
(3) payments to the Plaintiff.
20. Admitted.
21. Denied as stated. There was never a formal oral agreement between the
parties.
22. Denied as stated. There was never a formal oral agreement between the
parties and, therefore, no loan upon which monies were due to Plaintiff for him to feel
entitled to.
Page 4 of 9
COUNT I-BREACH OF CONTRACT
23. No response necessary.
24. Denied as stated. Although the Plaintiff made payments on behalf of Defendant
to Midas Auto Service and American Eagle as set forth in Paragraph 14 above, he
never loaned any money to the Defendant.
25. Denied as stated. The only payments made on her behalf that Defendant was
or is aware of are those set forth in Paragraph 14 above.
26. Denied as stated. The payments made on behalf of Defendant as set forth in
Paragraph 14 above were first offered by Plaintiff; the Defendant insisted on
reimbursing Plaintiff for these payments.
27. Denied as stated. The only payments for which Defendant agreed to repay
Plaintiff were those set forth in Paragraph 14 above.
28. Denied. This paragraph contains no averments of fact but only a conclusion of
law, to which no response is required. To the extent that a response is deemed
necessary, the averments of this paragraph are denied. By way of further answer, there
was never a formal oral agreement between the parties.
29. Denied. There was never a formal oral agreement between the parties, so the
Plaintiff could not have suffered damages.
COUNT II - UNJUST ENRICHMENT
30. No response necessary.
31. Denied. Although the Plaintiff made payments on behalf of Defendant to Midas
Auto Service and American Eagle as set forth in Paragraph 14 above, these payments
Page 5 of 9
were not for the sole benefit of Defendant. The parties were involved in a romantic
relationship where they resided together; as such, any act of kindness bestowed on one
parry by the other was not only realized by both parties in a variety of ways, but also
returned to the bestowing party by the receiving party in a variety of ways and in often
greater proportions.
32. Denied. The Plaintiff never loaned any money to the Defendant. By way of
further answer, please refer to Paragraph 31 above.
33. Denied as stated. The Defendant never made repeated promises to repay the
Plaintiff; to the contrary, the Defendant made a single, general promise to repay the
Plaintiff for the payments he made on her behalf as set forth in Paragraph 14 above.
34. Denied as stated. The Defendant made three (3) payments to the Plaintiff.
Further, these payments were to satisfy a general promise to repay Plaintiff for
payments he made on her behalf as set forth in Paragraph 14 above and were not
pursuant to any set terms or conditions; therefore, these payments could not be in
acknowledgement of a loan or an intention to repay a loan.
35. Denied. This paragraph contains no averments of fact but only a conclusion of
law, to which no response is required. To the extent that a response is deemed
necessary, the averments of this paragraph are denied. By way of further answer, the
Defendant could not have refused to pay the Plaintiff, as she was not required to repay
the Plaintiff for anything. By way of further answer, please refer to Paragraph 31 above.
Page 6 of 9
NEW MATTER
36. Although the Defendant did sign a lease while living with Plaintiff at Bedford
Court, this was for the sole reason of satisfying their rule that all adults living in the
apartment must sign a lease, which allows the rental office the right to pursue all
residing adults in the event of default by one of the adults.
37. The income of the Defendant was not considered by the rental office in
approving the application for the rental unit at Bedford Court.
38. Under no circumstances did the parties set an amount or percentage for
responsibility of living expenses, including rent; in fact, Plaintiff was well aware of the
poor credit rating and history of Defendant in addition to her limitations of net income
versus existing debt.
39. Furthermore, the Plaintiff asked the Defendant to move in with him at his prior
residence on May 26, 2004 when Defendant had to unexpectedly leave her parental
home. The Plaintiff decided to move into the residence at 516 Bedford Court, which
had a higher rent obligation, so that he could buy and own a dog.
40. While the parties resided together, the Defendant performed all the household
duties and contributed money to groceries as she could afford.
41. The Plaintiff refused to discuss any money that Defendant felt she owed him;
specifically, the Plaintiff refused to discuss repayment of the payments he made on
Defendant's behalf as set forth in Paragraph 14 above until such time that Defendant
began to pay Plaintiff $50.00 a week for these payments on her own accord.

this action.

PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO DEFENDANT'S NEW MATTER
NOW comes the plaintiff, James E. Davis, by and through his attorney, Stacy B. Wolf,
Esquire, and files this reply to the defendant's new matter, representing as follows:
36. Denied. To the contrary, Defendant signed the lease because she, along with Plaintiff,
was responsible for the payment of rent.
37. Plaintiff, after reasonable investigation, is without knowledge or information sufficient
to form a belief as to the truth of these averments.
38. Denied. To the contrary, the patties agreed to a 50/50 split of living expenses,
including rent; Plaintiff was not aware of any poor credit rating or history of Defendant but was
aware of Defendant's ability to obtain a personal loan and an automobile loan and thus was aware
Defendant had at least satisfactory credit.
39. Denied. To the contrary, Plaintiff told Defendant she was able to move in with him
at his prior residence on May 26, 2004 because she was told to leave her parents' home and had
nowhere to go. To the contrary, it was a mutual decision of Plaintiff and Defendant to move into
the residence at 516 Bedford Court, which had a higher rent obligation, so that Plaintiff and
Defendant could buy and own a dog.
40. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is denied that Defendant performed all of the
household duties. To the contrary, Defendant performed most of the household duties. It is
admitted that Defendant contributed money to groceries as she could afford
41. Denied. To the contrary, Plaintiff initiated discussions with Defendant concerning
the money that Defendant owed him; Plaintiff never refused to discuss repayment of the payments
he made on Defendant's behalf as set forth in Paragraph 14 above and to the contrary, Defendant
began to pay Plaintiff $50.00 a week for these payments in accordance with Plaintiff and
Defendant's agreement.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands that Defendant's new matter be dismissed and that
judgment be entered in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant as set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint.
