ROBERT P. KINDLER and
MARY ELLEN KINDLER,
Defendant
PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM OF DEFENDANT. MARY ELLEN KINDLER
The above-named Defendant, by her counsel, submits the
following Pre-Trial Memorandum in accordance with Local Rule
212-4.
1. FACTS.
Both Defendants were married at all times
---
""'f-
relevant to this action, but separated in July of 1990 and have
been estranged and lived separate since that time. The Plaintiff
is the mother of Defendant, Robert KinnlAY, and is estranged from
the Defendant, Mary Ellen Kindler.
At various times prior to the Defendants' separation, the
Defendants purchased real estate in Cumberland County which they
held in joint names. On several of those occasions, the
Plaintiff advanced money to her son, the Defendant, Robert
Kindler, which he apparently used to assist in purchasing those
properties. Plaintiff claims that Defendant, Mary Ellen Kindler,
was aware of those advances and that they were loans which were
to be repaid. Defendant, Mary Ellen Kindler, denies knowledge of
the advances and denies that there was any promise to repay them.
After the Defendants' separation, Plaintiff again loaned her
son funds, in December of 1990, which she, again, claims was a
loan which both Defendants were to repay. Defendant, Mary Ellen
Kindler, denies any knowledge of that transaction and denies any
promise or commitment by her to repay that money.
After the divorce action was commenced and the Defendants
were unable to resolve their financial disputes by agreement,
Plaintiff demanded payment of the amounts she claims to be due on
account of these various transactions. When the Defendants could
.
~.......
, ,'" _~,. . ...., ., .-/ _'"'~ '.' ~ '. ....'~ ...,,,,.... Ie.. ~""'_""-'!"'I'."-' ,- " p,..... .. .....,
.- ,-'
not agree between themselves on the nature of these transactions
and whether Defendant, Mary Ellen Kindler, owed anything on
account of them, the Plaintiff brought suit.
.., 2.., FACTS AS TO DAMAGES. Plaintiff claims she is owed
,..-' "
~J10 plus interest at the rate of 8% per annum on account
of the 1990 loan. Defendant, Mary Ellen Kindler, denies
liability on either of these claims.
3. ISSUES. The primary issues in the case are as follows:
A. Was there any agreement between Plaintiff and
Defendant, Mary Ellen Kindler, whereby funds were
advanced to Mary Ellen Kindler in exchange for her
promise to repay them?
B. Was Robert Kindler, as the estranged husband of
Mary Ellen Kindler, authorized to incur debts or legal
obligations for Mary Ellen Kindler?
'.
"
(,
C. Was there ever any firm promise by either
Defendant to repay the monies advanced by Plaintiff to
Robert Kindler? If there was, was the Defendant, Mary
Ellen Kindler, party to or bound by any such
commitment?
D. May Plaintiff recover her claims against both
Defendants, and in particular Mary Ellen Kindler, on a
theory of unjust enrichment?
4. LEGAL ISSUES. The primary legal issues are those listed
above. An evidentiary issue which will arise is whether the
Defendant, Robert Kindler, is competent to testify in support of
the Plaintiff's claim, and against the Defendant, Mary Ellen
Kindler. Mary Ellen Kindler contends that he is made incompetent
to testify by 42 Pa. C.S.A. 5924. Finally, there is the matter
of the request by Mary Ellen Kindler for a continuance because
discovery in the matter has not been concluded.
5. WITNESSES. At the present time, the Defendant intends
to call herself as a witness. Until discovery has been
completed, she is not able to determine if there are other
witnesses she will call in her case in chief and she, of course,
reserves the right to call other witnesses in rebuttal to the
Plaintiff's case and to any witnesses called by the Defendant,
Robert Kindler.
~
"
6. EXHIBITS. The exhibts which Mary Ellen Kindler will
offer are expected to be offered by the Plaintiff as well. Those
exhibits include the deeds, settlement sheets, and mortgage
records relating to the various properties purchased by the
parties, in particular the property purchased in Lower Allen
Township by the Defendants in 1990.
7. SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATONS. Defendant, Mary Ellen Kindler,
has agreed to settle the case by both Defendants paying to the
Plaintiff the sum of $30,000.00 in exchange for the Plaintiff's
release or, in the alternative, by depositing funds into a
custodial account for the children of the Defendants, who are
also the grandchildren of the Plaintiff.

ROBBRT P. KINDLER and
MARY BLLEN KINDLER,
Defendant.
PRE-TRIAL MBMORAHDUM OF
PLAINTIFF. GBRTRUDB KINDLER
Plaintiff Gertrude Kindler, by her counsel, Markian R.
Slobodian, Esquire, submits the following Pre-trial Memorandum in
accordance with Local Rule 212-4.
1. STATEMENT OF FACTS AS TO LIABILITY.
Plaintiff brings this action to recover amounts owed to her
by her son Robert P. Kindler and his wife Mary Ellen Kindler
pursuant to two (2) loans which she extended to Defendants. On
September 15, 1986, Gertrude Kindler lent to Defendants the sum
of Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00) for the purpose of
enabling her son and his wife to purchase a home at 1702 Chatham
Road, Lower Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
On October 4, 1988, Defendants purchased a second home at
328 Ridge Hill Road, in the Borough of Carlisle, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania for the sum of Ninety-Two Thousand Dollars
($92,000.00). In connection with this purchase, Defendants
borrowed from Mrs. Gertrude Kindler an additional sum of
approximately Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00). The second
loan was intended by the parties to be a short term bridge loan
pending sale of the 1702 Chatham Road property. On December 13,
1988, Defendants sold the l702 Chatham Road property and paid
back the amounts owed on the second loan. The initial loan,
however, remains outstanding. Although Defendants have made a
number of payments with rsgard to this obligation, the payments
are now in default and Plaintiff has sued to recover the balance
owed.
On or about September 19, 1990, Defendants purchased as
tenants-by-the-entireties, a home at 1603 Chatham Road, Lower
Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, for the sum of
Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars ($85,000.00). Defendants financed
this purchase through a loan from CCNB Bank. On December 24,
1990, Mrs. Gertrude Kindler loaned Defendants the sum of Eighty-
Five Thousand Dollars ($85,000.00). All of the proceeds from
this loan were used to payoff the CCNB loan and to satisfy the
CCNB mortgage. Defendant, Mary Ellen Kindler, continues to
reside at the 1603 Chatham Road property.
Defendants have made no payments with regard to this
obligation. Plaintiff accordingly brings this action to recover
the balance due on this loan.
2
,_.,-, -...'''~
2. STATEMENT OF FACTS AS TO DAMAGES.
The loan extended on September 15, 1986, has a principal
balance of approximately $53,694.03. As of February 28, 1995,
the balance owed on this obligation, including interest from
February l, 1991, is $71,252.88.
Defendants have made no payments to Plaintiff Gertrude
Kindler with regard to the December 24, 1990, loan. As of
February 28, 1995, the balance owed, including interest
calculated at the legal rate from December 24, 1990, is
$106,321.62.
The CCNB loan which Defendants paid off using the
proceeds of the December 1990 loan bore interest at the rate of
ten and eight-tenths percent (10.8%) per annum. To the extent
Defendants have been unjustly enriched by the payoff of this
loan, Plaintiff calculates her damages as of February 28, 1995,
at $123,379.79 which includes interest at the CCNB loan rate of
ten and eight-tenths (10.8%) per annum from December 24, 1990.
3. ISSUES REGARDING LIABILITY AND DAMAGES.
The primary issues in this case are as follows:
A. Did Plaintiff Gertrude Kindler lend to Defendants
certain funds in exchange for Defendants' promise
to repay all monies received?
B. Did Defendant Robert Kindler act as agent for
his wife, Mary Ellen Kindler, in accepting funds
from Plaintiff Gertrude Kindler and agreeing to
repay all monies advanced?
C. Has Defendant Robert Kindler gifted a portion of the
monies advanced by Plaintiff or proceeds thereof
to his wife Mary Ellen Kindler. If so, is any
3
such gift a fraudulent transfer as to his
creditor, Gertrude Kindler?
D. Have Defendants been unjustly enriched by accepting
and benefitting from the funds advanced by Plaintiff
Gertrude Kindler?
4. SUMMARY OF LEGAL ISSUES.
The primary legal issues are set forth in paragraph 3 of
this Memorandum. Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler has raised an
evidentiary issue regarding the competence of Defendant Robert
Kindler to testify in support of Plaintiff 's claim and against
the Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler. Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler
contends that Defendant Robert Kindler is made incompetent to
testify by 42 Pa. C.S.A. S 5924. Plaintiff Gertrude Kindler
accordingly raises the issue of whether Defendant Robert
Kindler's testimony falls within the exceptions set forth in 42
Pa. C.S.A. S 5924(b)(1) or (2).
5. WITNESSES.
At the present time, Plaintiff intends to call herself as a
witness. She also intends to call Mr. Steven J. Kindler,
Defendant Robert Kindler and John R. Srogoncik, C.P.A., as
witnesses. Plaintiff reserves the right to call other witnesses
in rebuttal to any witnesses called by Defendant Mary Ellen
Kindler.

d. Appraisals dated September l2, 1990, and

7. SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS.
On April ll, 1994, Plaintiff Gertrude Kindler submitted an
offer to settle the case for the sum of Sixty Five Thousand
Dollars ($65,000.00) with the stipulation that an additional
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) from the sale proceeds of
the Ridge Hill Road property be placed in a trust account for the
college education of the three (3) children of Robert and Mary
Ellen Kindler. Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler would further
receive the 1603 Chatham Road property free and clear of liens.
The balance owed to Plaintiff would be paid by Defendant Robert
Kindler. Defendant Robert Kindler concurred in this offer.
Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler has counter-offered to settle the
case by depositing Sixty Five Thousand Dollars ($65,000.00) from
the proceeds of the Carlisle real estate into a trust account for
the benefit of Robert and Mary Ellen Kindler's children and
remitting the balance of the proceeds (approximately $30,000.00),
to Plaintiff.

PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM OF DEFENDANT. ROBBRT P. KINDLBR
The above named Defendant, by his counsel, submits the
following Pre-Trial Memorandum in accordance with Local Rule 212-4.
l. FACTS: This is an action to recover money owed on loans
and is ancillary to the pending divorce between the Defendants.
(No. 1947 Civil 1992.) On or about September 15, 1986, Plaintiff
loaned Defendants the sum of $60,000.00 for the purpose of
purchasing l702 Chatham Road, Camp Hill. Defendants agreed to
repay their obligation over the course of twenty years with the
interest rate at 8% amortized monthly commencing on or about
November 1, 1986.
On or about December 24, 1990, Defendants
borrowed from the Plaintiff an additional sum of approximately
$85,000.00 to payoff the existing mortgage on a Ridge Bill
property. Defendants made payments to Plaintiff which was to be
applied to the loans, leaving an unpaid balance of $118,047.85.
Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler has denied an obligation to repay
these loans and in the course of her divorce action against her
husband, Robert P. Kindler, has claimed that he is solely liable to
Plaintiff.
2.
DAMAGES:
Plaintiff claims damages in the amount of
$ll8,047.85 which includes interest at the rate of lO.8% per annum
1
.>,.,_...
.
from December 24, 1990 through July 31, 1994.
3. ISSUES: The issues in this case are as follows:
A. Is Mary Ellen Kindler jointly obligated with
Robert Kindler to the Plaintiff as a result of funds
advanced by the Plaintiff?
B. If the Court finds no express agreement, then
is Mary Ellen Kindler liable to the Plaintiff on a theory
of unjust enrichment?
C. If Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler is not liable
to the Plaintiff, is she, in the alternative, liable to
Defendant Robert Kindler on his cross-claim against
Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler?
4. EVIDENTIARY ISSUES: Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler
contends that Defendant Robert Kindler is incompetent to testify by
virtue of 42 Pa.C.S.A. 55924. Defendant Mary Ellen Kindler's
reliance is misplaced because of the exceptions found in 42
Pa.C.S.A. 55924(b)(1) and/or (2).
5. WITNESSES: At the present time, Defendant Robert Kindler
intends to call himself as a witness as well as call Defendant Mary
Ellen Kindler, should her attorney not call her as part of his
case. Defendant Robert Kindler reserves the right to call other
witnesses in rebuttal as may become necessary.
6. EXHIBITS: The exhibits which Robert Kindler will offer
are expected to be offered by the Plaintiff as well. Those
exhibits include deeds, settlement sheets, mortgage records
relating to properties purchased by the parties and joint tax
