DAVID AIELLO and CUMBERLAND EQUITIES, INC. Qflt:!!QN Plaintiff's complaint centers on a consultant agreement that plaintiff and defendant entered Into on September 14, 1993. The agreement provided that plaintiff would perform various engineering and architectural work on behalf of defendant Aiello In connection with the Eden Distribution Center Project, Pursuant to the agreement, plaintiff performed $29,301,57 In engineering services for Aiello, Count I of the complaint alleges that defendant Aiello is liable to plaintiff for the work performed, Count II alleges that defendant Aiello fraudulently misrepresented to the plaintiff's representatives that he owned the property known as the Eden Distribution Center, when, In fact, the properties are owned by John M, and Beulah B, Lippert and General Signal Corporation. Plaintiff alleges that the defendant's fraud and misrepresentation Induced plaintiff to do the work and that plaintiff would not have performed If the true state of facts were known, In Count III, plaintiff alleges that defendant Aiello was acting as an agent for and on behalf of Cumberland Equities, Inc. Plaintiff requests damages in excess of $10,000 for .. . 94.2114 CIVIL TERM Counts II and III of the complaint. Defendant filed preliminary objections as to Counts II and III, alleging that plaintiff failed to state a cause of action with respect to the fraud claim. DIscussIon We begin by granting the objection to Count III of the complaint. Count III claims the same relief as Count II. It appears that Count III was meant to be framed against Cumberland Equities, Inc, on an agency theory; however, It Is unclear whether Count III Is a fraud claim or a contract claim. It Is Improper to lump the two claims together, Plaintiff may amend the complaint to state a cause of action against Cumberland Equities, Inc, We also grant the objection to Count II of the complaint, Count II appears to allege that, but for the Improper Inducement by defendant Aiello, plaintiff would not have entered Into the consulting agreement. However. we find no language In the consulting agreement that provides for ownership of the real estate as part of the bargain, There Is no clause stating that plaintiff ordinarily requires advance payment but waives this requirement if ownership Is demonstrated, Plaintiff falls to refer us to any clause In the contract that supports the fraud claim, It Is well established in Pennsylvania that averments of fraud or mistake must be pleaded with particularity, Pa,R,C,P. ~1019(b). A bold allegation of fraud or 2 ,. .'~',",,"""-'..' "'. '. .. .".''".-......... 94-2114 CIVIL TERM ml8take Is merely a legal conclusion; therefore. a detailed statement of the facts sustaining It Is required, pwyer v, B21hman, 288 Pa. Super. 256. 431 A.2d 1035 (1981). A plaintiff alleging fraud must set forth the exact statements or actions alleged to constitute the fraudulent misrepresentation. ~. 363 Pa. Super. 88. 525 A,2d 732 (1987), Fraud must be averred with particularity as to the following elements: (1) a misrepresentation; (2) a fraudulent utterance thereof; (3) the maker's Intent that the recipient be Induced thereby to act; (4) the recipient's justifiable reliance on the misrepresentation; and (5) damage to the recipient as the proximate result. Standard Pa, Practice 2d ~16:59. Although It Is Impossible to establish precise standards as to the degree of particularity required, two conditions must be met: (1) the pleadings must adequately explain the nature of the claim to the opposing party so as to permit the preparation of a defense; and (2) they must be sufficient to convince the court that the averments are not merely subterfuge, Martin v. Lancaster Batterv Co.. 530 Pa, 11. 606 A,2d 444 (1992), Defendant's preliminary objection to Count II appears to be in the nature of a demurrer. We grant the objection and give plaintiff twenty days to amend the complaint to properly recite an action for fraud, If plaintiff Is unable to amend the complaint accordingly, It will not withstand a preliminary objection In the nature of 3 . 94.2114 CIVIL TERM a demurrer and will be subject to dismissal. 4 -::r- en ~ ~ .;;:) ~ , o e, I,,') ~ ~~ ~".- 1- :r ~c. ,,''',I W%"-:..t:: ,~,~L~~, fl 't.:,'':l'' ,..'J::....1 . l..t..... ,,1 ; .-: :r.<; .1.,11114- "l:,.:1o.J t- xu.
