On or about August I, 1992, the parties entered into a verbal agreement for the purposes of opening and running a pizza shop in Newburg, Pennsylvania. 4.

The rental property, located at 14 West Main Street, Newburg, Pennsylvania, was leased for the purpose of opening up a pizza shop pursuant to the parties' oral agreement. The lease was to run from July 7, 1992 to June I, 1994. 7. Plaintiff provided construction material and services to the partnership as well as paid other expenses and wages, for which defendant, as manager of the business and the party responsible for the payment of accounts payable has not paid from the gross proceeds of the business. 8. Defendant has failed to pay the aforesaid expenses, failed to give plaintill' an accounting for the income and expenses of the business, and failed to pay to plaintiff any part of the net income of the business. 9. Defendant closed down the business upon the el<piration of the commercial lease. and since that time, has sold the equipment from the business or taken possession of all property of the business. 10.

WHEREFORE, plaintiff demands judgment in his favor and requests that defendant be required to pay plaintiff one half of all profits made during the course of the partnership venture, the exact amount of which cannot be determined until the trial of this matter and the disclosure of all books, records and financial information of the partnership by the defendant, and to reimburse plaintiff for the expenses incurred by plaintiff as aforesaid.

FRAKER, Plai/ltiff GIUSEPPE P. BASILE, individually and trading as NEWBURG PIZZA, Defem/allt : NO. 95-1086 Civil Term PLAINTIFF'S POINTS FOR CHARGE NOW, Ihis day of January 28, 1997, Ihe plaintiff, Wade D. Fraker, by and Ihrough his attorney, John D. Brenner, Jr., and respectfully requests the Court to instruct the jury as follows: \ , (.".r':'! C f-'" S\'f . b.. L The Defendant has admitted in his answer to the PlaintilT's pleadings and by his own testimony that an oral or written partnership agreement never existed between the Plaintiff and the Defendant regarding the establishment, operation, or ownership of the Newburg Pizza shop. As a result of the Defendant's admission, the Defendant is bound thereby. PA SSJI (Civ) ~ 2.10. 2, Furthermore, the parties have stipulated that there was never any partnership agreement between the Plaintiff and the Defendant and the parties have therefore withdrawn their respective claim and counter-claim against each other based on ,0 any alleged partnership agreement, Consequently, you should disregard all testimony and I)'''' inferences YOll may have drawn therefrom regarding any such partnership agreement between the Plaintiff and the Defendant relating to the Newburg Pi7.za shop. 3. Following the withdraw of the claim and counter-claim by the PlaintilTand the Defendant and their stipulation that no partnership existed between the PlaintilT and ,~_, the Defendant regarding the Newburg Pizza shop, if the Court permits the Defendant to continue to impeach the PlaintilT on the Plaintiffs previous allegations that there was a partnership and does not instruct the jury to disregard all testimony and inferences regarding such a partnership, the Plaintiff requests that the Court issue the following instruction. In the event that the Court prevents further impeachment of the PlaintilTby the Defendant regarding any allegations of a partnership and instructs the jury to disregard all previous testimony and inferences therefrom, then the following instruction is not necessary and withdrawn, Under Pennsylvania law a party may plead, or make a claim, for more than one cause of action against another party. A party may also plead in the alternative which means that a party can bring more than one claim against a party even if the claims are not necessarily consistent. A party may also under Pennsylvania law amend a pleading to add a new claim against a party, drop a claim made against a party, and I or to conform his pleading to evidence olTered or admitted. In this case you have heard testimony that the PlaintilT originally made a claim against the Defendant for the breach of a partnership agreement and later amended his pleadings to make a claim against the Defendant for a simple breach of contract on the part of the PlaintilT and a claim against the Defendant for unjust enrichment. Under Pennsylvania law, the PlaintilTis entitled to take such action, and you should keep that in mind when judging the I'laintilfs credibility based upon his prior actions and pleadings. Pa.R.C.P., Rules 1020 1I11d 1033. rtfi 4, In civil cases such as this one, the plaintiff has the burden of proving those contentions which entitle him to relief, When a party has the burden of proof on a particular issue, his contention on that issue must be established by a fair preponderance of the evidence. The evidence establishes a contention by a fair preponderance of the evidence if you arc persuaded that it is more probably accurate and true than not. To put it another way, think, if you will, of an ordinary balance scale, with a pan on each side, Onto one side of the scale, place all of the evidence favorable to the plaintiff; onto the other, place all of the evidence favorable to the defendant. If, after considering the comparable weight of the evidence, you feel that the scales tip, ever so slightly or to the slightest degree, in favor of the plaintiff, your verdict must be for the plaintiff. Pn SSJI ~ 5.50, 5. In this case the Plaintiff has made a claim that the Defendant had breached an oral contract he made with the Plaintiff regarding the establishment and renovations to (oj the Newburg Pizza shop. Based upon that claim the Plaintiff must prove the following things to you by a preponderance of the evidence: that the Defendant made an offer to the Plaintiff which the Plaintiff accepted, that there was valuable consideration given, in other words a bargained for exchange, and that the Defendant breached the contract, or did not hold up to his end of the agreement. If you find that the plaintiff has proven those things to you must come back with a verdict for the plaintiff. Pa SSJI ~ 5.50 and 15.00, .Jenkins v. County of Scllllvlkill, 658 A.2d 380, 441 Pa. Super. Ct. 642 (1995), nnd Green v. Oliver Realtv. Jnc., 526 A.2d 1192,363 Pa. Super. Ct. 534 (1987). 6. In many instances, including the present case, an oral contract is just as valid, effective, and enforceable as if the agreement had been reduced to writing. If you /A find that the Plaintiff has provcn to you by a preponderance of the evidence that the Defendant made an offer to the Plaintiff which the Plaintiff accepted and thatthc agreemcnt contained a bargained for exchange, then you must find that a contract cxisted despite thc fact that there was no writing involved. Pn SSJI ~ 15.01. 7. If you find that a contract cxisted between the Plaintiff and the Defcndant and that the Dcfcndant breached the contract, then the Plaintiff is entitled to damagcs and you arc required to award damages in an amount which will fully compensate the Plaintill. for his losses as a result of the breach. In other words, if you find a brcach on the part of ~ the Defendant you must award the Plaintiffdamagcs in an amount which would place the Plaintiff in the same position hc would have been in had thc breach not occurred.

Linner, 473 A.2d 741, 81 Pa. Commw. Ct. 334 (1984). 8. The plaintiff has also made a claim against the Defendant on the theory of quantum meruit, also known as "quasi-contract" or a claim for unjust enrichment. A /' '(;) quasi-contract is a contract which is implied at law for reasons of justice. It is a cause of action designed to cure unjust enrichment. In order to recover on this claim, the Plaintiff must provc by a preponderance of the evidence that the Defcndant wrongfully secured or passively received a benefit from the PlaintilT which would be unconscionable for the Defendant to retain without compensating the PlaintilT.

It is your duty to appraise the testimony and to accept or reject the evidence, depending upon your finding as to credibility. Otherwise, there would bp. no way for a defendant to protect himself against unjust claims. Gaita v. Pamula, 385 Pa. 171, 174, 122 A.2d 63, 64 (1956) Gottlob v. Hilleqas, 195 Pa.

In determining the credibility of any witness, you should consider the demeanor of the witness, the manner in which the witness answers questions, his or her certainties or uncertainties, his or her apparent candor or frankness, or the lack of it, and the means by which the witness received his or her information. You should also consider the interest of the witness and the outcome of the case and whether the witness has any bias or prejudice. From these indications of truthfulness, you must determine whether the witness is worthy of belief and what weight you will give to his or her testimony. The credibility of the witness is entirely for you to decide. Denovitz v. Portnov, 399 Pa. 599, 604-605, 161 A.2d 146, 149 (1960) Bates v. Commonwealth, 40 Pa.

If you decide that a witness has deliberately falsified his or her testimony on a significant point, you should take this into consideration in deciding whether or not to believe the part of his or her testimony; and you may refuse to believe the rest of his or her testimony, but are not required to do so.

BASILE, individually and trading as NEWBURG PIZZA, De/em/allt : IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA : CIVIL ACTION - LAW NO 95-1086 : JURY TRIAL DEMANDED PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM OF PLAINTIFF. WADE D. FRAKER I. STATEMENTOF IlASIC FACTS AS TO UAIJIUTY: At some point prior to August I, 1992, the plaintiff, Wade D. Fraker, was approached by the defendant, Giuseppe p, Basile, regarding helping the defendant establish a pizza shop in Newburg, Pennsylvania. The plaintiff and defendant evcntually came to an oral agreement whereby the plaintiff agrced to hclp the defendant in the establishment of the pizza shop, The .--...,... ..-.__.._-_....._-~~._..O'<..... ..".h_~'",_.'~.._,..'. plaintiff also agreed agreed to help the defendant secure a location and property out of which the pizza shop could operate, and agreed, at the request of the defendant, to provide lubor. materials and services in the construction, renovation, and remodeling of the pizza shop. On August I, 1992 the plaintiff and and defendant signed a two year commercial lease with Robert and patricia ('Iooper for property located at 14 West Main Street, Newburg, Pennsylvania out of which the pizza shop was to operate, The plaintiff advanced the defendant the security deposit and one month's rent under the lease, Following the signing of the lease, the plaintiff, at the rcquest or the dcfendant, incurred expenscs and provided labor, materials and services to thc defendant in order to renovate and rcmodcl the 14 West Main Street property for the purpose of prcparing the property to operate as a pizza shop, The plaintilT expended funds, advanced the defendant funds, incurred cxpenses, and provided the defcndant with labor, materials and services for the establishmcnt of the Newburg pizza shop all at the rcquest of the defendant. The defendant has denied in his pleadings the existence of a business partnership between the plainlill' and the defcndant in the pizza shop venturc. The defendant closed the pizza shop at the end of the two year lease term and to date has not reimbursed thc plaintiff for any of the sums advanced to thc defendant or paid the plaintiff for the costs of the labor, materials, and services provided by the plaintiff to the defendant associated with the renovation of the pizza shop, The plaintiff believes that hc should be reimbursed for the sums he advanced to the defendaat, the expenses he incurred, and for the labor. matcrials and services he provided the defendant based on breach of contract, quantum meruit, and unjust enrichment theories, 2 II, STATEMENT OF /lASIC FACTS AS TO DAMAGES: The plaintill. advanced the defendant funds in ordcr to help establish the Ncwburg Pizza Shop. These sums include $750,00 for sccurity deposit and $750.00 for a month's rent under the lease, $5.00 for a building permit, and other cash contributions of approximatcly $5,500,00 for a total of approximately $7,005.00. The plaintill: at the request of the defendant, also incurrcd expenses by provided labor, matcrials and scrvices for the rcnovation of the 14 West Main Stcet propcrty. The expcnses included paymeats for building materials, clectrical work, plumbing work, equipment purchases, and employee wages totaling approximately $6.190.73. Thc total amount of funds advanced by the plaintiff to the defendant plus the total amount owed to the plaintiff by thc defedant for the material. labor, and services provided by the plaintiff to the defendaat in thc establishment of thc Newburg Pizza Shop equates to approximately $13,195.73 for which the plaintiff is dcmanding judgment. III. STATEMENT AS TO PRINCIPAl. ISSUES OF UAI1IUTY AND DAMAGES: The defendant has admitted during deposition testimony that the plaintiff paid certain sums of money at the begining of the business vcnture for the 14 West Main Street property, and the defendant has also admitted that the plaintiff made rcnovations to thc property so that the propcrty could be operated as a pizza shop, The defendant, however, is dcnying any liability to the plaintiff for thc sums advanced by the plaintifi' to the dcfendant and the defendant is also 3 denying any liability to the plaintifi'to compensate him the labor an materials lor the renovations to the property. IV. SUMMARY OF I,EGAI, ISSUES REGARlJING ADMISSlJJIUTY OF TESTIMONY. EXHllllT.f/. AND OTHER MArrER: As of the time of the draning of this pre-trial memo, the plnintiff is aware of a number of issucs regnrding the admissibility of testimony and other pre-trial matters. In the defcndant's nnswer to the plaintilT's complaint the defendant denied the existence of a business partnership between the defendant and the plaintiff regarding the Newburg Pizza Shop, Thc plaintiff in his pleadings also dropped any claim that a partnership existed between the plaintiff and defendant. Consequently, the plaintiff believes that the plaintiff should not be able to makc any assertions to the contrary at trial and requests that the admissions in the defendant's pleading denying the business partnership be read to the jury at the begining of the trial. A second issue involves the defendant's fnilure to turn over to the plaintiff discovery material requested by the plaintifi: During the deposition of the defendant, the plaintiff requested that the defendant turn over all business records regarding the Newburg Pizza shop, Furthermore, subsequent to the deposition, the plaiatiff served upon the defendant's attorney a formal requcst for the production of such documents and has contacted the defendant numbers times by phone and letter regarding the requested documcnts, Despite these two formal requcsts and numerous informal requests, the defendant has not turned over any such documents to the plaintiff, Consequently, the plaintifi' requests that thc defendant should be precluded from " introd~c.ing any such document at trial unless they are turned over to the plaintiff prior to trial so as to afford the plaintiff ample time to review the documents, One other issuc which should be delt with prior to trial is the issue of the dcfendant's grasp of the English language and the possibility of having an iaterpreter present at trial. The defendant was originally born in Sicily, and while he can speak and understand a reasonable amount of English, the defcndant has demonstrate during his deposition difficulty in understanding questions posed to him and difficulty in articulatiag his answers in a clear manner. Consequently, the plaintiff believes that it would be in the best interest of the court to pennit an interpreter to be present for the defendant during both direct and cross examination and at other times during the trial as the court deems fit.
