CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PLAINTIFFS' MEMORANDUM OF LAW
IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Plaintiffs' 355 Associates and Rothman, Schubert and Reed
Realtors, t/d/b/a RSR filed a Complaint on May 6, 1994 alleging
that Defendants Edward D. Snell and Phil Beachey unlawfully entered
~'-,..,~'--'~~-....... .'- .---
North 21st st., Camp Hill Borough, Pennsylvania, for the purposes
onto the Plaintiffs' premises known as The Wagner Building, 355
- . --.'--
of picketing, praying, demonstrating and passing out prO-life
literature.
The purpose and intent of the conduct of the
Defendants, the Complaint alleges, is to harm Plaintiffs 355
Associates by inducing the tenants of The Wagner Building to
terminate their leases. The Complaint also alleges that Defendant
Snell placed anti-abortion literature at the site of a listing
agreement property, and that the intent and purpose of placing that
literature there was to induce the client to terminate his listing
..--- ,
agreement with RSR Realtors, Inc. The Complaiht seeks compensatory
and punitive damages in excess of $20,000.00 from each Defendant

.
for tortious interference with prospective business relations and
intentional interference with contractual relations.
Defendants Snell and Beachey filed Preliminary Objections in
the nature of a demurrer on May 27, 1994. Defendants seek to have
the Complaint dismissed on the basis that Defendants "are merely
exercising their specifically protected constitutional right of
free exercise of religion". (Defendants' Preliminary Objections p.
4). Plaintiffs filed a response to Defendants' Preliminary
Objections on June 14, 1994.
II. ISSOES PRESENTED:
A. Does Plaintiffs' Complaint sufficiently state causes of
action sounding in tortious interference with contractual
relations?
(Suggested Answer: Yes)
B. Must Plaintiffs' counsel be disqualified pursuant to
Pennsylvania Rule of Professional Conduct 3.7(a)?
(Suggested Answer: No)
III. ARGUMENT
A. The facts cleaded in Plaintiffs' Comclaint are leaallv
sufficient to cermit the action to continue.
Defendants Snell and Beachey have filed Preliminary Objections
which Defendants have identified as being in the nature of a
demurrer. (Preliminary Objections of Defendant Phil Beachey, p. 4;
2
~
Preliminary Objections of Defendant Edward D. Snell, p. 4).
Preliminary Objections in the nature of demurrer admit every well
pleaded fact and all inferences reasonably deducible therefrom.
McGaha v. Matter, 365 Pa. Super. 6, 8, 528 A.2d 988, 989 (1987).
A Preliminary Objection in the nature of a demurrer tests the legal
sufficiency of the Complaint and should be sustained only in cases
where the pleader has clearly failed to state a claim for which
relief may be granted. Mudd v. Hoffman Homes for Youths, Inc., 374
Pa. Super. 522, 524, 543 A.2d 1092, 1093 (1988). If there is any
doubt as to whether a claim for relief has been stated, the court
should resolve it in favor of overruling the demurrer. Mull v.
Kerkstetter, 373 Pa. Super. 228, 229, 540 A.2d 951, (1988).
Therefore, it is appropriate for this court to review the averments
of the Complaint to determine whether they are sufficient to state
a cause of action for intentional interference with a contractual
relationship and/or intentional interference with a prospective
contractual relationship.
The elements necessary to state a cause of action for tortious
interference with prospective business relations are as follows:
1. A prospective contractual relation;
2 . The purpose or intent to harm the Plaintiff by preventing
the relation from occurring;
3
"
.
3. The absence of privilege or justification on the part of
the Defendant; and
4. The occasioning of actual damage resulting from the
Defendant's conduct.
Vintaae Homes. Inc. v. Levin, 382 Pa. Super. 146, 554 A.2d, 989,
allocator denied 524 Pa. 622, 571 A.2d, 384 (1989). Plaintiffs'
Complaint sufficiently alleges facts in support of these necessary
elements.
Paragraph 7 of Plaintiffs' Complaint alleges that Plaintiff
Rothman Schubert and Reed Realtors, Inc., by and through its
employees, agents, servants and designated representatives acts as
real estate agents in the listing and sale of both commercial and
residential properties. This averment is sufficient to meet the
requirement of a prospective contractual relation. Our
Pennsylvania Supreme Court has held that prospective contractual
relations are, by definition, not as susceptible of definite,
exacting identification as is the case with an existing contract
with a specific person. Among relations protected against
intentional interference is the opportunity to sell or buy real
property. Glenn v. Point Park Colleae, 441 Pa. 474, 272 A.2d 895
(1971); Restatement (second) of Torts Section 766(B), comment c.
Plaintiffs' Complaint further avers that the complained of
4
conduct on the part of Defendants Snell and Beachey was intended to
harm the Plaintiffs, was improper, and occurred in the absence of
privilege or justification on the part of Defendants. (Complaint
Paragraphs 27-30 and !s 41-46).
Finally, the complaint specifically avers that Defendants'
conduct resulted in actual damage to the Plaintiff, both economic
and non-economic, including, but not limited to, prospective
termination of leases. (Complaint! 34-35, 47-49).
Defendants challenge the legal sUfficiency of the Complaint by
arguing that their conduct is privileged and protected by the First
Amendment. It is noted, however, that a qualified constitutional
privilege may not be raised by Preliminary Objection. Burke v.
Trianale Publications. Inc., 225 Pa, Super. 272, 302 A.2d 408
(1973). Even so, our Supreme Court has set forth the factors to be
considered in determining whether interference is improper. In
determining whether an actor's conduct in intentional interfering
with the contract, or a prospective contractual relation, of
another is improper or not, consideration is given to the following
factors:
(a) the nature of the actor's conduct
(b) the actor's motives
(c) the interest of the other with which the actor's conduct
interferes
5
(d) the interest sought to be advanced by the actor
(e) the social interest in protecting the freedom of action
of the actor and the contractual interest of the other at
the proximity or remoteness of the actor's conduct to the
interference
(f) the relation between the parties.
The averments in the Complaint to support an absence of
privilege or justification on the part of the Defendant are as
follows: that Defendant Snell displayed a large sign, 2Jl ~
DrODertv approximately one and one-half feet by two feet depicting
a fully developed post-term decapitated bloody infant containing
the description "aborted 7-mo. baby boy", and that tenants
complained to Plaintiffs that they were offended and repulsed by
the display of this sign (Complaint Paragraph No. 12); that on
March 2, 1994, and on subsequent dates, Defendant Snell displayed
a sign on the premises of The Wagner Building approximately 2' x 3'
containing the words, "Law Firm of Zeigler and Zimmerman hired to
protect baby killers." The Complaint goes on to aver that the law
firm of Zeigler & Zimmerman, P.C. does not represent Harrisburg
Reproductive Health Services, or any other client who offers
abortion services (Complaint Paragraph 16, 17); that The Wagner
Building is only open to the pUblic for the purpose of transacting
6
business and that the perimeter of the property is posted with
Notice that unauthorized solicitation for any purpose, or
unauthorized entry onto the premises is strictly prohibited, and
that Defendant Snell has repeatedly entered onto the premises of
The Wagner Building in order to distribute anti-abortion literature
to tenants and to approach prospective customers, clients and
patients (Complaint !s 20, 21); and that Defendant Snell caused
unknown individuals to enter onto the premises of The Wagner
Building on April 19, 1993 for the purposes of surveying the
property. (Complaint! 22).
Regarding Defendant Beachey, the Complaint specifically
alleges that in a radio interview with WHP radio on February 3,
1994, Defendant Beachey repeatedly stated his intentions to induce
tenants to leave The Wagner Building. specifically, Defendant
Beachey stated, "I hope that the owners lose more money by people
leaving than by [Harrisburg Reproductive Health] coming there. . .
I hope that, in the end, it costs them money that's that, plain and
simple. We'll be there regularly with our signs. . . there's other
pressures then that come on businesses. . . see, the picketers, the
kinds of things that take place -- most people don't want that
happening out in front of their businesses; that's the problem that
they have and we will be there." (Complaint! 38).
The First Amendment does not protect the Defendants' conduct
7
on private property owned by Plaintiffs. The First and Fourteen
Amendments are limitations on state action, not on action by the
owner of private property used only for private purposes. Central
Hardware Co. v. National Labor Relations Board, 407 U.S.539, 92
S.Ct.2238 (1972). Plaintiffs' property is open to the public only
for the purpose of transacting business. Defendants have no First
Amendment rights to enter the premises, which the Complaint alleges
they have done repeatedly, and which they continue to do.
This Court may be guided by the Superior Court's holding in
Crozer Chester Medical Center v. Mav, 352 Pa. Super. 51, 506 A.2d
1377 (1986). There the Court upheld the restrictions imposed by
the Lower Court on anti-abortion protestors' activities outside the
boundaries of the Plaintiff's private property. Those restrictions
included the prohibition of photographing patients, employees or
staff; the limitation to ten pickets at one time; the requirement
of constant motion and a distance of at least 5 feet apart; and the
prohibition on obstructing ingress and egress to Plaintiffs'
private property. These restrictions were reasonable, the Court
said, because the Defendants were provided with a feasible
alternative to engage in expressional activity. The restrictions,
the Court said, allowed the Defendants a reasonable opportunity to
voice their opinion while at the same time provided protection for
the rights of the hospital and its patients. This holding
8
illustrates that the Defendants' conduct is improper and is not
protected by the First Amendment. As such, the averments of the
Complaint are sufficient to state a cause of action for intentional
interference with a contract or a prospective contractual relation.
For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs 355 Associates and
Rothman Schubert and Reed Realtors, Inc. respectfully request that
the Defendants' Preliminary Objections be denied and that the
matter be permitted to proceed.
B. Counsel for Plaintiffs need not be disaualified from
actina as advocate Dursuant to Professional Rule of Conduct 3.7
because she will not be called as a witness in the matter before
the court.
Defendants seek to have counsel for Plaintiffs disqualified
because they allege she may be called as a witness. Plaintiffs
will not call counsel as witness. Defendants have set forth no
facts from which to conclude that defendants would be prejudiced by
present counsel's continued representation or that Defendants will
call counsel as a witness.
Additionally, Professional Rule of
Conduct 3.7 (b) specifically provides that a lawyer may act as
advocate in a trial in which another lawyer in the lawyer's firm is
likely to be called as a witness unless precluded from doing so by
a conflict of interest as determined by Rules 1.7 and 1.9. No
conflict of interest as proscribed by Rules 1.7 and 1.9 exists
under the facts of this case.
Finally, to disqualify counsel would work substantial hardship
9
on the plaintiffs as present counsel is completely conversant with
the facts, procedural background and legal issues involved. To
require new counsel to be substituted would cause delay and expense
to Plaintiffs. Defendants have set forth no facts to support a
claim of prejudice so as to justify such delay and
expense. As such, present counsel should not be disqualified.

PURSUANT TO CONSTITUTIONAL

DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS TO INTERROGATORIES OF PLAINTIFFS
AND NOW, comes Defendant Phil Beachey and respectfully
represents:
1. On October 14, 1994, attorney for Plaintiffs forwarded to
Defendant a set of interrogatories. Copies of interrogatories are
attached hereto and marked Attachment "A",
2. The set of interrogatories contains forty-seven (47)
interrogatories made up of a minimum of one hundred and forty-five
(145) subparts (see Attachment "A"),
3. Objection is made to the number of interrogatories as
being in violation of the Rule for the Court of Common Pleas of
Cumberland County, Rule 4005-1 limits the number of
interrogatories to a party, as a matter of right, to forty (40) in
1
.
number. Dividing an interrogatory into a number of subparts does
not avoid Rule 4005-1.
4. Objection is also made to the number of interrogatories as
being in violation of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure,
Pa.R.C,P. 4011(b) prohibits discovery which would cause an
unreasonable burden or expense to the party and requiring one
hundred and forty-five (145) interrogatories would be a burden and
expense to the Defendant,
It is respectfully requested that such discovery be prohibited
as being in violation of the Rules of Court of Common Pleas of
Cumberland County 4005-1 and the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
Procedure 4011(b).
