Mr. Sanders cannot be prescnt on Fcbruary 6th. Mr. Douglas has a case in York County. Needless to say. there must bc some considcration to thc schcduling of this mattcr. Therc are various theorics of recovcry in this case. Thc jury's verdict will impact on the action dockcted to 97-2149 and may also bc dctcrminativc with respect to an assault and battcry exclusion in Cold Springs Inn's dram shop liability insurance. Thus. thc framing of jury interrogatories becomes particularly critical in this casc. Thc court has asked that counsel file proposed verdict forms togethcr with any supporting Icgal authority prior to jury selection in this case. This matter should take less than two days to try. It is unlikely that dcfcndant James Adams will appear. For the timc bcing, therefore, the court dirccts thc normal numbcr of juror challenges. January 7,1998 :r ~!/./- Lawrence J.

BRADLEY D. MAXWELL; PATRICIA A. MAXWELL; B&P MAX, INC. t/a COLD SPRINGS INN; JAMES M. BAUGH~AN; and JAMES B. ADAMS, CASE NO. 97-2149 Defendants MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF PETITION OF REGIS INSURANCE COMPANY FOR CONSOLIDATION OF ACTIONS I. FACTS This petition to consolidate involves two lawsuits filed in connection with an alleged tortious assault that occurred in March, 1994. Both actions were filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County. The first action was brought by James Baughman against James Adams and B&P Max, Inc. t/d/b/a Cold Springs Inn. In that action, Mr. Baughman seeks damages for bodily injury as a result of an alleged incident involving Mr. Adams at the Cold Springs Inn in the early morning hours of March 25, 1994. ~ Exhibit "A". The second action is a declaratory judgment action brought by Regis Insurance Company. Regis issued a policy of general liability insurance, No. RL 103953, to Bradley D. Maxwell, Patricia A. Maxwell and B&P Max, Inc. t/a Cold Springs Inn, effective February 15, 1994 to February 15, 1995. Regis was notified of Mr. Baughman's claim against Cold Springs Inn and has defended its insured under a reservation of rights. On April 24, 1997, Regis filed a declaratory judgment complaint, seeking a judgment that it has no duty to defend or indemnify the named insureds under Policy No. RL 103953 in the personal injury action brought by James Baughman. ~ Exhibit "B". In the personal injury complaint, James Baughman alleges that, on March 25, 1994, he was a patron of the Cold Springs Inn. Mr. Baughman claims that he sustained bodily injuries, including "a bimalleolar fracture dislocation of the left ankle" as the result of an alleged assault by Mr. Adams upon him. ~ Exhibit "A" at Paragraph 10(a). Mr. Baughman alleges that Adams "attacked him violently, pushed him against a guardrail, struck him repeatedly with his fists, and shoved him into a large pothole along the berm of the roadway directly abutting the Cold Springs Inn." ~ Exhibit "A" at Paragraph 9. The basis for Regis' declaratory judgment action is an Assault and Battery Exclusion endorsement contained in the policy issued to Cold Springs Inn. ~ Exhibit "B" at Paragraph 8. In 201466". MPS -2- the declaratory judgment action, Regis seeks a determination that it has no duty to defend or indemnify Cold Springs Inn, because the personal injury suit alleges injuries arising from an assault and battery, which claims are clearly excluded under the policy. The instant petition asks the court to consolidate the personal injury action with the declaratory jUdgment action. II. ARGUMENT Consolidation of the instant two actions is appropriate because it satisfies the requirements of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure and because it furthers the goals of that rule. The decision whether to consolidate rests soundly within the discretion of this trial court. Roznowski v. Pennsvlvania National Mutual Cas. Ins. Co., 343 Pa. Super. 7, 493 A.2d 775 (1985); 20 Appleman, Insurance Law and Practice ~ 11371, p. 408. The court may order consolidation at any time, regardless of whether the pleadings are closed, discovery is completed, or both cases are at issue. Financial Enterorises. Inc. v. Radnor Indus.. Ltd., 13 D. & C.3d 600 (1980). A. CONSOLIDATION IS APPROPRIATE UNDER PA. R. CIV. P. 213(a) Rule 213 (a) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure provides for consolidation of actions when the actions involve the same factual questions and arise from the same occurrence: In actions pending in a county which involve a common question of law or fact or which arise from the same transaction or occurrence, the court on its own motion or on the motion of any party may order a joint hearing or trial of any matter in issue in the actions, may order the actions 201466P7.WP5 -3- consolidated and may make orders that avoid unnecessary cost or delay. This declaratory judgment action brought by the insurer of one of the parties to another action is suited to consolidation with th~ underlying action, pursuant to Rule 213(a). The declaratory judgment action and the underlying action involve the same factual issues surrounding the incident that is the subject of the litigation. The personal injury action will involve questions of fact regarding liability for Mr. Baughman's alleged injuries, and the declaratory judgment action will involve questions of coverage as they relate to the liability for Mr. Baughman's injuries. A determination of whether the insurer owes the insured a defense or indemnification rests on the allegations of the underlying complaint. Aetna Cas, and Sur. Co. v. Roe, 437 Pa. Super. 414, 650 A.2d 94 (1994). If the complaint against the insured makes allegations unambiguously outside coverage of the policy, the insurer has no duty to defend or indemnify. Britamco Underwriters. Inc. v. Stokes, 881 F. Supp. 196 (E.D. Pa. 1995). The instant declaratory judgment action will involve factual issues regarding Mr. Baughman's allegations of assault and battery, to determine whether the policy exclusion encompasses the allegations. The personal injury suit will naturally involve the same questions of fact surrounding the incident that gave rise to these two actions. Thus, substantially the same evidence would be introduced in both cases: evidence about the incident for which Mr. Baughman 201466F1.WPS -4- seeks to hold Cold Springs Inn liable and for which Cold Springs Inn seeks indemnification from Regis. Furthermore, the two actions clearly arise from the same occurrence, as Regis would have had no cause to bring the declaratory judgment action absent the incident giving rise to the personal injury action. Because the declaratory judgment action and the personal injury action involve common questions of fact and arise from the same occurrence, they are amenable to consolidation under Rule 213 (a) . B. CONSOLIDATION WILL FURTHER THE POLICIES BEHIND PA. R. CIV. P. 213(a) Pennsylvania courts have approved the practice of consolidation of actions under Rule 213(a). Azinaer v. Pennsvlvania Railroad Co., 262 Pa. 242, 105 A. 87 (1918); Acauaviva v. Hartman, 203 Pa. Super. 505, 201 A.2d 239 (1964); Sisk v. Duffv, 201 Pa. Super. 213, 192 A.2d 251 (1963). In support of the rule, the cases cite certain policy considerations. Consolidation of the instant personal injury suit and declaratory judgment action will further the policies behind Rule 213(a). The Pennsylvania Superior Court has noted that consolidation avoids unnecessary delay, expense and duplication of effort, resulting in benefits to the court and all parties to the actions. Acauaviva v. Hartman, suora. Consolidation also prevents the possible rendering of inconsistent verdicts. ~ v. Duffv, suora. 201466F7.WP5 -5- In Clark v. Khan, 52 Erie 96 (1969), the court granted a petition to consolidate where there were common defendants, stating: "[tlhis, in our opinion, weighs heavily in favor of consolidation . ConsolidaLion of these cases will not only save time and expense for the parties involved, and cost to the county, but will prevent the rendition of inconsistent verdicts." ~ at 99; ~ slaQ Hare v. American General Life Ins. Co., 43 D. & C.2d 126 (Pa. Com. Pl. 1967) (permitting consolidation of suit by beneficiary for life insurance benefits and suit by insurer to rescind insurance policy for misrepresentation) . In the instant action, the commonality of parties is in favor of consolidation. Cold Springs Inn is a defendant in both actions, and James Baughman is a defendant in the declaratory judgment action and a plaintiff in the personal injury action. Consolidation will thus prevent needless expense to the parties in repetitive pleadings, motions and discovery. To twice litigate the issues surrounding the incident and Mr. Baughman's injuries would waste the resources of all parties. All parties are likely to benefit from the consolidation through the reduction of expense attendant to a consolidation of actions. Moreover, the Court will benefit from consolidation, which is the main focus of Rule 213. "It is the savings in total time, total expenses and total effort . that are the desired objectives of the rule." Financial Enterorises, suora, at 604. Consolidation will prevent duplication of effort by this 201466F1.WPS -6- Honorable Court. Time taken in discovery, pretrial motions and conferences will be substantially reduced. Additionally, consolidation will prevent the potential for inconsistent verdicts, which is another purpose of the rule allowing consolidation. sisk v. Duffv, SUDra. If the cases were tried separately, one of the actions might result in a finding that an assault and battery caused Mr. Baughman's injuries, and the other might find the injuries were due to another cause. Such an undesirable inconsistency is avoided by consolidation of the two actions. In Financial EnterDrises. Inc. v. Radnor Indus.. Ltd., 13 D. & c.3d 600 (1980), the court stated that "[a]voiding unnecessary delay, expenses and duplications of effort is the laudable objective of the rule, beneficial to the court and to the litigants." ~ at 603. In that case, the court allowed the consolidation in the absence of a clear showing that prejudice would result from the consolidation. Id. Consolidation of the two actions at bar will not prejudice any right of any party to the actions. The fact that a determination of coverage is requested in the declaratory judgment action, whereas a determination of tort liability is requested in the personal injury action, is not a bar to consolidation. In Azinqer v. pennsvlvania Railroad co., 262 Pa. 242, 105 A. 87 (1918), the Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that: where separate actions in favor of or against two (2) or more persons have arisen out of a 201466Fl.WPS -7- single transaction, and the evidence by which they are supported is largely the same, althouqh the riqhts and liabilities of the oarties mav differ, it is within the discretion of the trial judge to order all to be tried together, though in every other respect the actions remain distinct and require separate verdicts and judgments. ~ at 87 (emphasis supplied). Consolidation of the instant declaratory judgment action and the underlying personal injury suit is thus proper because the two actions possess common questions of fact, regardless of the difference between the judgments the facts support. Therefore, the instant two actions should be consolidated for purposes of discovery and trial, although the court will ultimately render two verdicts: one on coverage and one on tort liability. The consolidation of these declaratory judgment and personal injury actions furthers the purposes of the rule permitting consolidation, because it will conserve the resources of all parties and the court, and because it will avoid delay and potential inconsistency of verdicts. III. CONCLUSION Consolidation of the instant declaratory judgment action and personal injury suit is proper and warranted under Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 213(a) and the policies behind the Rule articulated by Pennsylvania courts. In the interest of justice, because the two actions share questions of fact, involve the same parties, and arise from the same occurrence, they should be tried together. Consolidation will conserve valuable court time and resources, as well as benefitting all parties concerned. For 201466F7.NP5 -8- these and the other foregoing reasons, Regis respectfully requests this Honorable Court to consolidate the declaratory judgment action, Reais v. Maxwell. et al., with the underlying personal injury suit, Bauahman v. Adams. et al. Respectfully submitted, WHITE AND WILL S By: Date: 9;/5.&Jl William J.
