PLAINTIFFS' REPLV TO NEW MATTER AND REPLY TO
COUNTERCLAIM WITH NEW MATTER
Plaintiffs Denny W. Hamilton and Patsy Hamilton, by their
attorneys, Snelbaker, Brenneman & Spare, P. C., file this Reply
to New Matter and Reply to Counterclaim with New Matter as
follows:
REPLY TO NEW MATTER
37. Paragraph 37 of Defendant's New Matter contains an
unwarranted conclusion of law to which no response is required by
Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(d); therefore, same is
deemed to be denied. To the extent a response is necessary, it
is denied that Plaintiffs' Complaint fails to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted.
38. Paragraph 38 of Defendant's New Matter contains an
unwarranted conclusion of law to which no response is required by
Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(d); therefore, same is
LAW O""'CES

BRENNEMAN
a SPARE:
deemed to be denied. To the extent a response is necessary, it
is denied that Plaintiffs' claims are barred because they failed
to mitigate damages. To the contrary, Plaintiffs made numerous
efforts to mitigate their losses and damages.
39. Paragraph 39 of Defendant's New Matter contains an
unwarranted conclusion of law to which no response is required by
Plaintiffs pursuant to Fa.R.C.P. 1029(d); therefore, same is
deemed to be denied. To the extent a response is necessary, it
is denied that Plaintiffs' claims are barred because they could
not have reasonably relied upon any representations made by
Everhart as set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B to the
Complaint. To the contrary, Plaintiffs did reasonably rely upon
Everhart in the manner as more fully set forth in their
Complaint.
40. Admitted, with the qualification that on each visit
prior to July 23, 1993 the subject property was fully furnished,
appeared occupied and had a strong mothball odor.
41. Paragraph 41 of Defendant's New Matter contains an
unwarranted conclusion of law to which no response is required by
Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(d); therefore, same is
deemed to be denied. To the extent a response is necessary, it
LAW O'''ICUI
SNELBAKER.
BRENNEMAN
a SPA.RE
is denied that Plaintiffs in any way released Defendant or any
agents of the Defendant from any claims, rights or actions
whether in law or in equity, based upon any representation,
expressed or implied, under the Home Inspection Addendum to the
Agreement of Sale. To the contrary, Plaintiffs' election not to
have a home inspection pursuant to the aforementioned Addendum
acted as no release whatsoever of Defendant for the fraudulent
-2-
acts and other actions more fully set forth in Plaintiffs'
Complaint.
42. Denied in part; admitted in part. The Agreement of
Sale is a writing which speaks for itself; therefore, Defendant's
characterization of its content is denied. It is admitted only
that Plaintiffs never advised Defendant that they could not
obtain appropriate financing or that they were declaring the
Agreement null and void by October 1, 1993 under Paragraph 6(a)
of the Agreement of Sale. By October 1, 1993 Plaintiffs were not
aware of the fraud of the Defendant as more fully set forth in
Plaintiffs' Complaint. In any event, Plaintiffs had the
resources to purchase the subject property without financing.
43. Paragraph 43 of Defendant's New Matter contains an
unwarranted conclusion of law to which no response is required by
Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(d); therefore, same is
deemed to be denied. To the extent a response is necessary, it
is denied that Plaintiffs' rescission of the Agreement of Sale
due to snake infestation in the premises was not justified. It
is further denied that Plaintiffs' rescission of the Agreement of
Sale constituted a material breach of the Agreement of Sale for
the reasons set forth in Plaintiffs' Complaint. By way of
further Reply, Plaintiffs' rescission of the Agreement of Sale
LAW O','C[$

was not made solely due to the infestation of the premises by snake
-3-
44. Paragraph 44 of Defendant's New Matter contains an
unwarranted conclusion of law to which no response is required by
Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(d); therefore, same is
deemed to be denied. To the extent a response is necessary, it
is denied that Plaintiffs in any manner breached the Agreement of
Sale. To the contrary, Plaintiffs' letters of October 8, 1993
and October 22, 1993 properly set forth the reasons for
Plaintiffs' rescission of the Agreement of Sale, together with
Plaintiffs' reasons for not settling on the purchase of the
premises, which reasons justified Plaintiffs' action.
45. Denied. The letters of October 8, 1993 and November 2,
1993 are writings which speak for themselves. Defendant's
efforts to characterize the content of those letters are
therefore denied. By way of further Reply, it is admitted that
on November 2, 1993 Plaintiffs did make an offer to Defendant to
purchase the subject property after Ann Storm, the agent for
Defendant, requested Plaintiffs to have determined the costs to
rid the subject premises of snakes and to make another offer
since, according to Ann Storm, Dr. Everhart was aware that there
were problems with the house.
46. Denied. The Agreement of Sale is a writing and speaks
for itself; therefore, Defendant's characterization of its
LAW O....ICIU

content is denied. By way of further Reply, Paragraph 46 of
Defendant's New Matter contains unwarranted conclusions of law to
-4-
which no response is required by Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P.
1029(d)i therefore, same is deemed to be denied. To the extent a
response is necessary, it is denied that Plaintiffs in any way
breached the Agreement of Sale or forfeited their $10,000.00
escrow deposit.
47. Denied. Without waiver of Plaintiffs' rights to
collect damages against any Additional Defendant joined in this
action, the damages and losses suffered by Plaintiffs were the
result of actions of the Defendant as more fully set forth in
Plaintiffs' Complaint.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request this Court to enter judgment
in their favor in accordance with the demands made in Plaintiffs'
Complaint.
REPLY TO COUNTERCLAIM
48. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 47, inclusive, of
Plaintiffs' Complaint and New Matter are incorporated by
reference herein. All averments of fact set forth in Defendant's
Answer are denied.
49. Denied. The Agreement of Sale, being in writing,
speaks for itself. Accordingly, to the extent Defendant's
characterization of the Agreement in Paragraph 49 varies from its
LAW C'FleE.

50. Denied. It is denied that Plaintiffs failed to carry
through with the purchase of the premises. To the contrary,
Plaintiffs justifiably rescinded the Agreement for the reasons
set forth in their Complaint, the averments of which are
incorporated by reference herein. It is further denied that
Defendant was "required" to relist the subject property during
the winter months. Defendant could have relisted the property
for sale in the fall, immediately after receiving notification
that Plaintiffs were rescinding the Agreement. After reasonable
investigation, Plaintiffs are without sufficient information to
form a belief as to the truth of the averment that Defendant lost
the "prime selling season"; therefore, same is denied and strict
proof thereof demanded. In the alternative, if Defendant lost
any selling season it was due to his actions as more fully set
forth in Plaintiffs' Complaint.
51. Denied. It is denied that Defendant lost the "prime
selling season" for the reasons set forth in Paragraph 50, above,
of this Reply, the averments of which are incorporated by
reference herein. By way of further Reply, Defendant's
allegation that Plaintiffs breached the Agreement of Sale is an
unwarranted conclusion of law to which no response is required by
Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(d). To the extent a
response is necessary, it is denied that Plaintiffs in any way
breached the Agreement of Sale. Finally, it is denied that the
Defendant was forced to sell the subject premises at a reduced
price of $190,000 as opposed to $217,000 due to any action or
-6-
breach by Plaintiffs.
52. Denied. Paragraph 52 of Defendant's Counterclaim
contains an unwarranted conclusion of law to which no response is
required by Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(d). To the
extent a response is necessary, it is denied that Plaintiffs in
any way breached the Agreement of Sale. It is further denied
that Defendant suffered a loss in the sales price of $27,000 or
any amount due to any alleged breach by Plaintiffs.
53. Paragraph 53 of Defendant's Counterclaim requires no
response in accordance with the stipulation entered into between
counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendant pertaining to Defendant
agreeing to strike any claim for counsel fees in this action. By
way of further response, it is denied that Plaintiffs breached
the Agreement of Sale.
54. Denied. Paragraph 54 of Defendant's Counterclaim
contains unwarranted conclusions of law to which no response is
required by Plaintiffs pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(d). To the
extent a response is necessary, it is denied that Plaintiffs
breached the Agreement of Sale. To the extent Defendant claims
LAW O(l"FICE:5
SNElBAKER.
BRENNEMAN
a SPARE
any of Plaintiffs' actions were not justified, same is denied.
By way of further response, Plaintiffs' action of rescinding the
Agreement of Sale was justified for the reasons set forth in
Plaintiffs' Complaint, the averments of which are incorporated by
reference herein.
-7-
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request this Court to dismiss
Defendant's Counterclaim and enter judgment in their favor in
accordance with the demands set forth in their Complaint.
NEW MATTER
Plaintiffs assert the below New Matter in further response
to Defendant's Counterclaim:
55. Defendant's Counterclaim fails to set forth a cause of
action against Plaintiffs upon which relief may be granted.
56. Defendant's Counterclaim is barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
57. Defendant has failed to mitigate his alleged losses and
damages.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request this Court to dismiss
Defendant's Counterclaim and enter judgment in their favor in
accordance with the demands set forth in their Complaint.

a S~4"1
to the truth of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are
denied and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
7. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is
without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as
to when the Plaintiffs received a copy of the Seller's Property
Disclosure statement ("Disclosure statement"). It is admitted
only that the Disclosure Statement had been signed and initialed
by Dr. Everhart and that a true and correct copy is attached as
"Exhibit B" to the Complaint.
8. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is
without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as
to the truth of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are
denied, and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
9. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is
without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as
to the truth of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are
denied, and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
10. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is
without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as
-2-
to the truth of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are
denied, and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
COUNT I - FRAUDULENT CONCEALMENT
11. The averments contained in Paragraphs 1 through 10
above are incorporated here by reference as if set forth in full.
12. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is
without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as
to the truth of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are
denied, and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
13. Denied as stated. It is specifically denied that the
Premises were "infested with snakes". No representations were
made by Everhart regarding snakes on the Premises, because Dr.
Everhart had no knowledge of snakes on the Premises other than an
occasional snake outside, as would be normal for properties
located in this area.
14. Denied. Everhart had no knowledge of the existence of
snakes in the Premises prior to Plaintiffs executing the
Aqreement.
-3-
15. Denied. The Premises were not "infested" with snakes.
It is denied that the existence of snakes would constitute a
latent defect. Further, a latent defect is a conclusion of law
to which no response is required.
16. Denied. It is specifically denied that Everhart failed
to disclose the existence of snakes in the Premises or that such
non-disclosure was intentional. Everhart had no knowledge of
snakes being in the Premises and, therefore, there simply was no
reason to make any comment about snakes in the Premises or on the
grounds. By way of further Answer, the Premises sat uninhabited
from December, 1992, through December, 1993.
17. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is
without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as
to the truth of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are
denied and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
18. It is admitted only that Plaintiffs communicated to the
Everhart, through Plaintiffs' real estate agent, that Plaintiffs
were rescinding the Agreement primarily due to the alleged
infestation of snakes. All other allegations are denied and
proof thereof demanded at trial.
-4-
19. Denied as stated. Everhart agreed to release
Plaintiffs' deposit money in the amount of $10,000.00 if
Plaintiffs provided Everhart with a release of any and all
claims. Plaintiffs initially agreed, then refused to honor their
agreement.
20. It is specifically denied that Everhart engaged in any
fraudulent concealment of any item relative to the Premises.
After reasonable investigation, Everhart is without sufficient
knowledge or information to form a belief as to the truth of the
remaining matters asserted. Accordingly, they are denied and
proof is thereof demanded at trial.
WHEREFORE, Everhart demands judgment in his favor and
against the Plaintiffs, and requests that the Complaint be
dismissed.
COUNT I I - FRAUD
21. The averments contained in Paragraphs 1 through 20
above are incorporated here by reference as if set forth in full.
22. Denied as stated. The Disclosure statement is a
writing, and therefore speaks for itself.
-5-
\:
\1'
23. Denied. To the contrary, Everhart believed, based on
the Agreement of Sale and related documents, that Plaintiffs were
not relying on representations made in the Disclosure Statement.
Indeed, Paragraph 16 of the Sales Agreement states that "Buyer
[Plaintiffs] has inspected the property...and he/she has agreed
to purchase it as a result of such inspection and not because of
or in reliance upon any representation made by the Seller" and
that the Buyer "has agreed to purchase it in its present
condition unless otherwise specified..." No other condition was
specified in the Sales Agreement.
Further, while Plaintiffs had inspected the Premises on
several occasions prior to making their offer on July 23, 1993,
they indicated on that date that they did not wish to have the
Premises inspected by signing the Home Inspection Addendum to
Agreement of Sale, indicating that they did not want an
inspection. A true and correct copy of that document is attached
hereto as "Exhibit A".
By way of further answer, Plaintiffs acknowledged in signing
the receipt and acknowledgement on the Disclosure Statement,
attached as Exhibit B to the Complaint, that the information
contained on the Disclosure Statement was "not a warranty and
that unless stated otherwise in the sales contract, Buyer is
purChasing this property in its present condition. It is Buyer'S
-6-
responsibility to satisfy himself or herself as to the condition
of the property." (See Page 2 of Exhibit B to the complaint).
24. Denied as stated. The Disclosure statement is a writing
and speaks for itself. By way of further answer, it is noted
that the Premises sat vacant from December, 1992 through
December, 1993.
25. Denied. Everhart made no representations which were
false or untrue.
26. Denied. It's specifically denied that Everhart made
any representation calculated to deceive Plaintiffs or that the
Plaintiffs were in fact deceived. To the contrary, Plaintiffs
had inspected the property on several occasions prior to
executing the Sales Agreement and waived the right to have the
Premises inspected by a professional.
27. Denied as stated. Everhart was not aware of any water
penetration into the Premises (other than during Hurricane Agnes
in 1972) nor that there was shifting and movement of the
foundation, and denies that either of these conditions existed.
28. Denied. Everhart provided the information on the
Disclosure Statement to the best of his knowledge, information
and belief. However, the Disclosure Statement specifically
-7-
states that the information contained on it did not constitute a
warranty, unless otherwise stated (which it does not) and further
that the Plaintiffs were buying the property in its present
condition and that they had a responsibility to satisfy
themselves as to the condition of the Premises.
29. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is
without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as
the truth of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are denied
and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
30. Denied as stated. It is admitted only that a letter
was sent by Plaintiffs to Everhart dated October 8, 1993. Being
a writing, the letter speaks for itself.
31. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is
without sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as
the truth of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are denied
and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
32. Paragraph 32 states a conclusion of law to which no
response is required. To the extent a response is deemed
necessary, it is denied and proof thereof is demanded at trial.
-8-
33. It is specifically denied that Everhart committed any
fraud. After reasonable investigation, Everhart is without
sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as the truth
of the matters asserted. Accordingly, they are denied and proof
thereof is demanded at trial.
WHEREFORE, Everhart requests judgment be entered in his
favor and against the Plaintiffs, and that the Complaint be
dismissed.
COUNT III - VIOLATION OF PENNSYLVANIA
UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES AND
CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT
34. The averments of Paragraphs 1 through 33 above are
incorporated here by reference as if set forth in full.
35. Paragraph 35 states a conclusion of law to which no
response is required. To the extent that a response is deemed
necessary, the allegations are denied and proof thereof is
demanded at trial.
36. It is specifically denied that Everhart violated the
Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act.
After reasonable investigation, Everhart is without sufficient
-9-
knowledge or information to form a belief as the truth of the
matters asserted. Accordingly, they are denied and proof thereof
is demanded at trial.
WHEREFORE, Everhart requests judgment in his favor and
against the Plaintiffs and that the Complaint be dismissed.
NEW MATTER
37. Plaintiffs' Complaint fails to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted.
38. Plaintiffs' claims are barred because they failed to
mitigate damages.
39. Plaintiffs' claims are barred because they could not
have reasonably relied upon any representations made by Everhart
as set forth in "Exhibit A" and "Exhibit B" to the Complaint.
40. Plaintiffs visited and inspected the subject property
on at least two occasions prior to making an offer on July 23,
1993.
41. Plaintiffs released the Seller (Everhart), and Agents
of the Seller from any claims, rights or actions, whether in law
or equity, based upon any representation, express or implied,
under the Home Inspection Addendum to the Agreement of Sale,
-10-
signed by the Plaintiffs on July 23, 1993, a true and correct
copy which is attached hereto as "Exhibit A".
42. Under Paragraph 6(a) of the Agreement of Sale,
plaintiffs were entitled to declare the Agreement null and void
and obtain their security deposit if they demonstrated that they
could not obtain a financing commitment by October 1, 1993
(subsequently amended to September 30, 1993). Plaintiffs never
advised Everhart that they could not obtain appropriate
financing, nor that they were declaring the Agreement null and
void by that date or under that section of the Agreement.
-11-
43. Plaintiffs' refusal to go forward with the Agreement of
Sale because several snakes were found in the Premises was not
justified and was material breach of the Agreement of Sale.
44. None of the items contained in the Plaintiffs' letters
of October 8, 1993 and October 22, 1993, established
justification for breaching the Agreement of Sale.
45. After advising Everhart, by letter dated October 8,
1993, that they could not live in or purchase the Premises,
Plaintiffs subsequently, in a letter dated November 2, 1993,
indicated that they would make a new offer to purchase the home
"as is" at a price of $159,000 as opposed to the $217,000 they
had agreed to in the Agreement of Sale.
46. Plaintiffs agreed in the Agreement of Sale to settle by
October 20, 1993. They did not, thus breaching the Agreement of
Sale and forfeiting the $10,000 escrow deposit.
47. Any damages suffered by the Plaintiffs, which are
denied, were the result of actions of individuals other than
Everhart.
WHEREFORE, Everhart requests the Court find in his favor and
against the Plaintiffs, and dismiss the Complaint.
COUNTERCLAIM
48. Paragraphs 1 through 47 above are incorporated here by
reference as if set forth in full.
49. The Agreement of Sale, set forth as "Exhibit A" to
Plaintiffs' Complaint, provides that if the Buyer (Plaintiffs),
fail to fulfill and perform any of the terms or conditions of the
Agreement, then all deposits and other sums of money paid by the
Buyer, may be retained as monies to be applied to the Seller's
damages (Paraqraph (20)(c)(ii) of the Sales Agreement).
-12-
50. As a result of Plaintiffs' failure to carry through
with the purchase of the Premises, Everhart was required to
relist the property during the Winter months of the year, thus
loosing the prime selling season.
51. As a result of loosing the prime selling season because
of Plaintiffs' breach, Everhart was forced to sell the property
at a reduced price of $190,000, as opposed to the $217,000 he
would have received pursuant to the Agreement of Sale with
Plaintiffs.
52. As a result of Plaintiffs' breach of the Agreement of
Sale, Everhart suffered a loss in the sales price in the amount
of $27,000 ($217,000 minus $190,000).
53. In addition, Everhart has been required to spend
approximately $7,500.00 on attorneys' fees as a result of
Plaintiffs' breach of the Agreement of Sale and refusal to
release the $10,000 deposit.
54. The damages set forth above were caused by the
Plaintiffs' breach of the Agreement of Sale, which was not
justified.
-13-
WHEREFORE, Everhart requests that the Court enter judgment
in his favor and against the Plaintiffs in the amount of
$27,000.00 plus interest from October 21, 1993 to the present, as
well as attorneys' fees in the approximate amount of $7,500.00,
and costs of suit.
