OPINION AND ORDBR 0.. COURT
The underlying cause of action in the present matter
concerns the renovation of the chambers of Honorable Thomas G.
Saylor. Plaintiff completed certain improvemellts for the
chambers and claims that original defendants owe additional sume
for this work pursuant to a contract. These defendants in turn
joined the Administrative Office of Penneylvania Courts (AOPC),
claiming it permitted work to be done beyond that contemplated by
the leaee executed between AOPC and defendants I the leaee
provides, inter alia, an agreement whereby the landlord
(defendants) would bear the cost of certain agreed upon
renovations and construction work of Judge Saylor'e chambers.
The inetant dispute concerns whether this Court has jurisdiction
over additional defendant AOPC. Argument was held on February 5,
1997.
~CTUAL ~D PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Prooedurally, plaintiff Hled a Complaint on Deoember 26,
1995. Defendants Answer with New Matter was filed on January 17,
1995, whioh plaintiff answered on February 20, 1996. In the
meantime, on February 15, 1996, defendants filed a praeoipe with
the Prothonotary for the issuanoe of writs of summons to join
AOPC and another party ae additional defendante. On May 2, 1996,
a Rule wae issued upon defendants by AOPC to file a Complaint,
defendants then filed a Complaint against AOPC on July 23, 1996.
On August 9, 1996, AOPC filed a preliminary objection to this
Court's jurisdiction.
The facts may be summarized as follows I Plaintiff, Miller'
Norford, Inc., a construction firm, is a Pennsylvania corporation
with ite principal offices at 700 Ayers Avenue, LeMoyne,
Cumberland County.' Defendants are 200 North Third, Inc. and
Central Dauphin Realty Co., two penneylvania bueinees
corporations with their management offices at 1200 Old Camp Hill
Bypass, Camp Hill.' Additional defendant AOPC is a governmental
entity with its principal office at Suite 1414, Market Street,
Philadelphia.' In or about Maroh, 1994, AOPC entered into a
commeroial leaee for office space of The Fulton Building,
speoifically the 16th floor, to be used by the Honorable Judge

Saylor and his staff.' At the time the lease was signed,
defendal\t Central Realty owned the property, but subject to an
agreement of sale in favor of defendant 200 North Third, Inc.,
which Will noted in paragraph 59 of the lease. & Following
execution of the lease, defendant 200 North Third, Inc. became
the record owner of the property.'
pureuant to paragraph 9 of the lease, the landlord
(defendants) agreed to pay for oertain agreed upon renovations
and construotion in order to prepftre the leaeed space to AOPC for
Judge Saylor'8 uee and further provided that "no change orders
for euch construction [shall be made] without the express written
consent of both parties. . . .'" Defendants allege that AOPC,
acting through Judge Saylor, members of hiw staff, or a
decorating firm retained by AOPC or Judge Saylor, entered into a
contract with plaintiff for the completion of additional or
different renovations and construction work (1) ~ri,thout notifying
the landlord (defendants or their agents)F or (2) obtaining the
l.andlord's written consent, pursuant to paragraph 9 of the
lease.. The total cost for the work was $117,612.78, of which

$53,718.19 hae been paid by defendant..'
Plaintiff filed a ccmplaint againet defendantl leeking in
Count IV, unrecovered fundi in the amount of $69,431.68 for the
leaeehold improvemente on the 16th floor." Defendante have
denied liability beyond the eum of $53,718.19, the figure already
paid to plaintiff for work on the 16th floor.1I Defendante aver
that the additional money, if owed at all, is properly payable by
AQPC becauee it violated its lease with defendanto by authori~ing
work in the leaeed space without obtaining the expreee written
coneent of defendants.'l Defendants further contend that whether
or not they are found liable in plaintiff'e action, they ar~
entitled to recover from AOPC their coete in defending Count IV
of the action." AOPC maintains that defendante' complaint
against AOPC. is within the exclueive juriSdiction of the Board
of Claims."
DISCUSSION
The issue presented by thie caee is whether AOPC may be
joined as an additional defendant in the above-captioned caee by
virtue of ite alleged breach of lea8e with defendante. We
believe that AOPC may not be so joined in the action pending

before thie Court beoauee to Illow joinder would ueurp the
exclueive juriediction of the Board of Claime, ae indioated by
the followingl
. .'51-.. Power. of board
The Board of Claime ehall have exolueive juriediction
to hear and determine all olaime againet the
Commonwealth, where the amount in oontcoverey amounte
to $300.00 or more.
72 P.S. S 4651-4.
After a diligent eearch, we could find no olee law to
support our belief that the Board of Claims doee not 10le ite
exclueive jurisdict~on when a party wishee to join thu
Commonwealth ae an additional defendant in a oa.e before a oourt
of oommon pleae. We have found instructive the caee of E.y Parke
v. Llrson, 499 Pa. 615, 454 A.2d 928 (1982), in which our high
court held that "the exolusive etotutory remedy for breaoh of
leaee is for monetary damages in the Board of Claim. . . .
Id. at 629, 454 A.2d at 935. with regard to the argument of the
Commonwealth Court's pendant or conourrent juriediotion, whioh
wae not expressly alleged in the pre.ent oaee but oertainly
applies, the eupreme court explained I
Hore the Commonwealth Court waG expree.ly deprived of
all jurisdiotion over contract diepute. with the
Commonwealth in favor of the Board of Claim., inoluding
ooncurrent and pendent jurisdiction where, ae here, the
adminietrative remedy is adequat~. By ~tatute the
Board of Claims hae 8xolueive juri.diotion . . . .
Id. at 629, 454 A.2d at 936.
Defendante argue that its claims do not neoeeearily arie.

"
from a contract entered into with the Commonwealth in that
defendant8 were not a party to the contract which i. the lubject
of plaintiff's Complaint. Still, defendants are attempting to
bring a suit againet the Commonwealth for an alleged breach of
lea8e, and whether seen ae a claim for indemnificstion or unjult
enrichment, as defendante maintain in their brief, defendants'
third party Complaint is a claim "against the Commonwealth, . .
in [a] controversy amount[ing] to $300.00 or more."
We have also considered Chen v. Philadelphia Electric
Company, 661 A.2d 25 (pa.Commw. 19951. Chen did not addre8S the
jurisdiction of the Board of Claims becauee the Complaint was
grounded in negligenoe rather than contract law, but it did
examine whether the venue provis.ton" governinq actions against
the Commonwealth applies to situatione in which the Commonwealth
is joined as an additional defendant. The court explained that
.ince the statute did not expreeely mention the Commonwealth ae
an additional defendant, other factore should be considered in
rendering an interpretation. rd. at 28. Tho oourt then held
that Section 8523 is not applicable to third party proceedings
after concluding that it would not be fair to allow defendante to
obtain a change of venue by virtue of joining the Commonwealth as
I'
Actione for claims against a Commonwealth
party may be brought in and only in a county
in whioh the prinoipal or looal office of the
Commonwealth party is located or in which the
cause of action arose or where a transaction
or occurrenoe took place out of whioh the
cause of action drose . . . .

an additional defendant. rd.
Unlike Chen, in the instant case, Section 4651-4 clearly
epells out that the Board of Claims has exclusive jurisdiction
"to hear and determine all claim. against the Commonwealth, where
the amount in controversy amounts to $300.00 or more." It il our
belief that 72 P.S. S 4651-4 takes the third par.ty complaint out
of the jurisdiction of this Court. Acoordingly, we will grant
the preliminary objection of AOPC."
ORDBR OF COURT

consideration, the preliminary objection of the Administrative
Office of Pennsylvania Courte to the juriediction of this Court
is GRANTED.

Isld
U Although not of record, it was brought to our attention
at Argument Court and in defendlnts' brisf that defendants have
filed an action with the Board of Claims, and AOPC filed
preliminary objections Objecting to the jurisdiotion of the
Board. We were further informed that the Board of Claims has not
rendered its decision. Therefore, we need not direct that this
oaee be transferred.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
No. 95-7311
DEFENDANTS 200 NORTH THIRD, INC. AND
CINTRAL DAUPHIN REALTY Co.'S BRIEr IN OPPOSITION
TO ADDITIONAL DEFENDANT AOPC'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTI~
t. prooedural History and Statement of Faot
This action arises from a dispute regarding which party is
financially responsible for the costs of renovations and
construction to leased office space.
In or about March 1994, the Administrative Office of
Pennsylvania Courts (IOAOPC"), an agency of the commonwealth of
pennsylvania, entered into a commercirl lease (lithe Leasell) for
certain space in The Fulton Building, 200 North Third Street,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, namely, the sixteenth (16th) floor of
that building, which space was obtained for use as an office by
Honorable Thomas G. Saylor of the superior Court of pennsylvania
and hiB .tatf. A true and cornet copy ot uid L.... is attaoned
to plaintitt's complaint in tne above-captionsd action as
Exhibit A.
At the time tne Lease was signed, detendant Cantral Daupnin
Realty Co. owned tne property, subject to an agreemant of sale in
favor of detendant 200 North 'rhird, Inc. ("200 North Third").
This impending change of ownership was revealed to AOPC.I
Following executi~n of the Lease, the salo of the property was
consummated, and defendant 200 North Third became and is now the
record owner of the property.
Pursuant to paragraph 9 of the Lease, certain agreed-upon
and specified renovations and construction work were to be
performed, at the landlord's expense, to prepare the space leased
to AOPC for Judge Saylor's use. Said provision of the Lease
declared that "no change orders for such construction (shall be
made) wit,hout the express written consent of both parties...."
Defendants aver that AOPC, acting through Judge saylor,
members of his ataff, or a decorating firm assisting AOPC or
Judge Saylor, dealt directly with Miller & Norford, Inc, ("Miller
& Horford"), the construction firm retained by the landlord
(defendants herein), to obtain additional or diffarent
renovations and construction work within the leased space without
I ill p.r.9r.ph 59 ot ..~d L....,
-2-
(1) notifyinq the landlord or their aqents and (2) obtaining the
landlord's written aonsent, purAuant to paragraph 9 of the Lease.
After AOpe oooupied the Bpaoe in defendante' buildinq and
after the above-desoribed renovations were completed, Miller &
Harford informed defendants that they owed Miller & Horford
additional money for renovation work on several floors of the
building in which AOPC was a tenant. The money claimed by Miller
, Horford was said to be in additi.on to the substantial sums that
defendants had already paid Miller & Horford for the renovations.
After being informed of Miller & Norford's assertion that
additional money was owed, defendants entered into negotiations
to determine what 6um of money was owed, if any. When no
resolution was reached, Miller & Horford filed the above-
captioned civil action ("the civil Action") against defendants on
December 27, 1995.
Count IV of the complaint in the civil Action seeks recovory
for extra-contractual renovations and construction wo!:k that
Miller & Norford performad on the space leased to AOPC by
defendants. Defendants have denied liability fQr amounts claimed
in count IV of this complaint, that is, sums beyond $53,718.19,
the amount already paid to Miller & Norford by defendants for its
work on tho space leased to AOPC. It was not until Miller &
Horford filed said civil Action that defendants became aware of
-3-
the amount of money that Miller , Hortord oontended it was owed
for the extra-oontractual renovations to the AOPC spaoe.
Defendants contend that the unpaid amount claimed by Miller
, Horford in Count IV of said complaint in the civil Action, if
it can be establiehed as payable at all, is properly payable by
AOPC because it directed and authorized Hiller , Norford to
perform extra-contractual renovations and construction work in
the leased space for which defendants had not contracted nor
agreed to pay for.
Because defendants have been damaged by being forced to
defend the Civil Action, incurring attorneys' fees and other
expenses that are based in part on claims arising from AOPC's
actions, defendants joined AOPC in the civil Action as an
additional defendant on February 15, 1996. AOPC subsequently
filed preliminary objections in the civil Action, ass~rting that
this Court does not have jurisdiction over an action against AOPC
because AOPC is an agency of the Commonwealth. AOPC asserts,
instead, that Board of Claims (the "Board") has jurisdiction over
contract claims against it (in excess of three hundred dollars).
Because of AOPC's asser.tion that only the Board has the
ability to exercise jurisdiction over the type of claims that
defendants asserted against it in the civil Action, defendants
tiled a complaint with the Board on June 1.4, 1996, docket no.
2128 (the "Board complaint"). AOPC then filed preliminary
-4-
objeotione againet the Bo~rd complaint, alleging that
jurisdiotion by the Board is AlA2 improper I AOPC argued that
there is no oontract imposing liability on AOPC to Hiller ,
Norford, therefore, jurisdiction is improper, AOPC also argued
that defendants did not file their claim within the appropriate
time period. (FOr procedural reasons, AOPC later filed emended
preliminary objoctions with the Board.) While defendants and
AOPC have briefed the Board on their positions, the Board has not
yet entered an order granting or denying AOPC's preliminary
objections. It is in response to AOPC's preliminary objections
filed in the civil Action that defendants now file this brief.
II. Iasue Preaented
Whether this court has jurisdiction to hear the above-
captioned civil action?
Suggested Answer: Yes.
III. Arguments
THIS COURT HAS JURISDICTION TO HEAR THE ABOVE-CAPTIONED
CIVIL ACTION.
The thrust of AOPC's three-sentence argument against this
Court's exercise of jurisdiction over this action is that the
matter is a breach of lease action, and that the Board has
exclusive jurisdiction to hear such contract actions. However,
AOPC's argument oversimplifies and mischaracterizes the nature of
-5-
this action. While AOPC'. brief accurately state. thlt the Board
enjoy. "exclu.ive jurisdiction to hear and determine all claims
aqainst the commonwealth arieinq from contract a .,. antered into
with the commonwealth, where the amount in controversy amounts to
$300.00 or more," defendants' claims do not necessarily arise
from a contract entered into with the Commonwealth. ~ 72 P.S.
S 4651-4.
Ae stated above, in or about March 1994, the AOPC ~ntered
into a Lease with defendants for certain space for uee as an
office by Honorable Thomas G. Saylor of the Superior Court of
Pennsylvania and his staff. Pursuant to paragraph 9 of the
Lease, certain aqree4-upon and specified renovations and
construction work were to be performed, at the landlord's
expense, to prepare the space leased to AOPC for Judge Saylor's
use.
To accomplish said renovations to the leased space,
defendants entered into a contractual relationship with Miller ,
Horford. AOPC was not a party to that contractual relationship.
Pursuant to defendants and Millet , Norford's contractual
relationship, defendants agreed to pay for certain agreed-upon
and specified renovatione and construction work to be done by
Miller' Horford to the spaced leased by AOPC. However, Miller'
Herford performed renovations and construction above and beyond
tho.. which were contemplated by the contractual relationship,
-6-
apparently at the direction of and with the au~horization of
AOPC, ae discussed below.
Because AOPC was not a party to the contractual relationship
between Miller , Horford, that contract cannot be cited ae the
baeis for denying jurisdiction of this court, for that oontract
wae not "entered into with the Commonwealth" as required by 72
P.B. 5 4651-4.
Defendants believe that AOPC dealt directly with Miller ,
Horford to obtain additional or different renovations and
construction work within the leased space without notifying the
defendants and without obtaining their written consent, as
required by paragraph 9 of the Lease. Paragraph 9 of the lease
provides, inter Al..\A, that "(t]here shall be no change orders for
such construction without the express written consent of both
parties (t]hereto,"
After the above-described contractual and extra-contractual
renovations were completed, Miller & Horford sued defendants, in
part for additional money for the extra-contractual renovations
done to the AOPC space, despite the fact that defendants had not
agreed to pay for the extra-contractual renovations made at the
direction of AOPC.
When AOPC requested and authorized the extra-contractual
renovations by Miller & Horford of the leased space without
notification to and the written approval of the landlord, AOPC
-7-
was acting outside the scope of the X,ease it hid with detendents,
While the Lease may form the basis of a contract obligating
defendants to be financially responsible for certain agreed-upon
and specified renovations and construction work, it doee not form
the basis of any contract obligating defendants to be financially
responsible for the extra-contractual work requested and
authorized by AOPC, which was above and beyond that originally
agreed to. Because the extra-contractual work at issue here was
outside of the scope of the Lease, the Lease does not provide a
basis for denying this Court jurisdiction over this matter.
Defendants' claim is analogous to the following scenario:
Bob (defendants) agrees to give sally (AOPC) a diamond necklace.
Bob then enters into a contract with a jeweler (Miller & Norford)
for the jeweler to create a diamond necklace (and only a diamond
necklace), for which Bob agrees to pay the jeweler. Sally
requests the jeweler to make matching earrings for her and tells
the jeweler to put it on Bob's tab, which he does pursuant to
Sally'S instructions. The jeweler then seeks to recover the
price of the matching earrings from Bob. There is no contract
obligating Bob to pay for the earrings because he did not
contract with the jeweler to have them made, nor did he oontract
with Sally to buy the earrings. In addition, there is no
"contract" with Sally obligating her to pay Bob or the jeweler.
-8-
Clearly, defendants' olaim aqainBt AOPC is not the typioal
oontraot olaim contemplated by 72 P.S. S 4651-4. In fact,
defendants claim is not a oontract olaim per se, but may be more
appropriately characterized as a claim for indemnification. It
is because AOPC directed and authorized Miller & Norford to
perform renovations above and beyond the agreed-upon and
specified renovations contemplated by both the contractual
relationship between defendants and Miller & Norford and by the
Leasl between defendants and AOPC, that def~ndants have been
damaged.
Specifically, defendants have been forced to defend Count IV
of the Civil Action relating to AOPC's leased space, and incur
attorneys' tees and other expenses relating to said count.
Defendants' claim simply requests that if a judgment is rendered
against them on Count IV of the civil Action, defendants will be
entitled to recover from AOPC their costs in defending the civil
Action allocated to the defense of Count IV alone and the amount
awarded, it any, to Miller & Norford, to the extent that it is
based upon Count IV of the complaint, plus interest and costs.
Defendants' claim could also be characterized as one for
unjust enrichment. Defendants did not anticipate that such
extra-contractual renovations would be undertaken without AOPC's
first notifying defendants and obtaining their written consent.
-9-
ThUI, AOPC has unjustly received the benefit of the renovations
it direotQd while defendants are being sued for the 8Kpense.
Again, defendants' claim against ~OPC olearly is not a
contraot claim as contemplated by 72 P.S. 5 4651-4. Moreover,
AOPC was brought into the civil Action as additional defendants
(on the basie of indemnification), Defendants had no ability to
choose the forum in which they would be sued, and did not intend
to bring a civil action against AOPC for the cost of any extra-
contractual renovations. Defendants have brought this action
against AOPC because Miller and Norford filed th$ civil Action
against defendants.l Defendants had no reason to pursue a claim
with the AOPC prior to being sued by Miller' Norford, for they
were attempting to resolve the matter as to how much money, if
any, they owed Miller' Norford. If defftndants had been able to
resolve the matter with Miller' Norford, there would have been
no reaeon to pursue a claim against AOPC.
Justice requires that in cases such as this, the parties be
provided some forum in which their claims may be heard and
resolved. In the case at hand, Miller & Norford has sued
defendants in the Court of Common Pleas for Cumberland county.
Defendants assert that a portion of their liability, if any is
I In tact, def.n,1anto only became aware at the amount at money that
Hiller' Hortord contended that It w.e owed tor the extra-contractual
r"novatlone when the Civll Actlon wa. tlled. It wa. at that polnt that
det"ndante were tlret able to know the amount due trom AOPC, accordlnq to
Hill"r , Nortord'. tlquree, and to prepare a detalled statement ot it. claim.

found to exilt, should be the reuponaibility of AOPC and, tor
that reason, defendants joined AOPC in the civil Action. AOPC
filed preliminary objections to the civil Action (Which are the
subject of this brief), arguing that the action is a oontract
Ilction in excess of three hundred dollars that may only be heu'd
by the Board. In response, in an effort to have their claim
heard in some forum, defendants filed a claim with the Board, to
which AOPC again filed preliminary objections, contending that
there is no contract upon which AOPC coul.d be he.ld liable to
Miller & Horford and that defendants waited too long to file a
claim. AOPC's reasoning suggests that although Miller & Horford
has a four-year statute of limitations to bring an action against
defendant.s, defendants should have anticipated such an action and
filed a preemptive claim against AOPC. The combined position
that AOPC is asserting in these actions is that no relief is
available to defendants in AnY forum.
To hold that this court has no jurisdiction over AOPC in
this action would in essence encourage agencies of the
Commonwealth to entice contractors to perform additional
renovations when a landlord has agreed to pay for only certain
renovations. Despite the agency's promise not to seek additional
renovations without first obtaining the landlord's consent, the
agency could then refuse to pay for the additional renovations
without the landlord having the ability to seek redress before
-u-
the Board Qt in court, arguing that neither forum has
jurisdiction over the agency. While the contractor may be able
to get some reliet in this situation by tiling mechanios' liens
or initiating a civil suit against the landlord, under AOPC's
approaoh, there would be no basis tor a claim to be brought
against the agency, the actual wrong-doer. The Court should not
allow such manitest injustice.
Finally, consideration of these preliminary objections is
premature at this time. AOPC ar.gues herein that the Board has
exclusive jurisdiction to hear this matter, not this Court. The
Board is currently considering whether it has jurisdiction to
hear the claim, and the Board should be given the opportunity to
rule on its jurisdiction before this Court rules on the
preliminary objections in the cj~il Action. The Court could
overrule AOPC's preliminary objections without prejudice, thereby
allowing AOPC to raise this issue in the future, through a motion
tor summary judgment, if appropriate after the Board's rulings
IV. Conclusion
For the reasons set forth above, defendants 200 North Third,
Inc. and Central Dauphin Realty, Co. respectfully request this
Honorable Court to overrule additional defendant Administrative

CIVIL ACTION LAW
NO. 95-7311
VI.
200 NORTH THIRD, INC., et al.
MEMORANDUM OF LAW
IN SUPPORT OF PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF
THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE
OF PENNSYLVANIA COURTS ("AOPC")
-<,,'
I.~
In this action, DefendantslThird-Party Plaintiffs, Central Dauphin Really
Company and 200 North Third, Inc. ("Third.Party Plaintiffs"), prior and present
owners, respectively, of the Fulton Building at 200 North Third in Harrisburg, allege
that the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, (" AOPC"), lessee of space In
that building, owes them for the cost of certain improvements made to the leased
space by Third-Party Plaintiffs' contractor, Miller Norford, Inc.
This action was originally brought by Miller & Norford, Inc., naming 200 North
Third, Inc. and Central Dauphin Realty Company as defendants (complaint attached
as Exhibit A), Miller and Norford, Inc. Is a building contractor. Central Dauphin
Realty Company owned the Fulton Building, at 200 No. Third Street in Harrisburg,
until 1994, when It sold the building to 200 North Third, Inc. Charles R. Davis Is the
President of 200 North Third, Inc. Miller Norlord sued In Common Pleas Court for
unpaid renovations It allegedly made to the Fulton Building. The AOPC was not
originally a party to this action. DefendantsfThlrd-Party Plaintiffs 200 North Third,
Inc. and Central Dauphin Realty now name the AOPC as a third-party defendant.
In 1994, Central Dauphin Realty Company sold the Fulton Building (located
at 200 No. Third Street In Harrisburg) to Charles Davis, (president of 200 North
Third, Inc.). Also In 1994, the AOPC signed a lease with Central Dauphin Realty
and 200 North Third, Inc., under which The Honorable Thomas G.Saylor, of the
Superior Court of Pennsylvania, would occupy the 16th floor of the Fulton Building.'
Mr. Davis hired Miller & Norlord to make renovations to the building.
Third-Party Plaintiffs, Central Dauphin Realty and 200 North Third, cite a
provision of their lease with the AOPC, under which no additional renovations could
be made to the leased space without the approval of all signatories to the lease.
Third-Party Plaintiffs allege that the AOPC violated this lease provision by asking
Miller Norford to make renovations beyond what had been previously agreed to by
the parties.
'Because the sale oCthe Fulton Building by Central Dauphin Realty to 200 North
Third, Inc. was not yet linal when the lease was signed, both Central Dauphin and 200
North Third, Inc. are named in the lease.

tion with the leasehold improvements on the 17th and 18th floors,

34. Defendants incorporate the averments of paragraphs 1
through 33 of their Answer. count IV is directed to Defendant

plaintiff incorporates, plaintiff refers to Defendants, and
Defendants answer count IV as if plaintiff had used Defendants
throughout its Count IV averments.

involve work authori~ations by Defendants. The work of plaintiff

obligation to plaintiff is limited as set forth above in para-
graph 48 of the Answer, which is incorporated here by reference.

ment and change orders. Defendant admits that it has paid
$189,3~4.33, and is prepared to pay the balance due in the amount
of ~23,859.67, when plaintiff agrees to accept said amount as
appropriate payment. Defendant has not done so, in that plain-

tion to plaintiff in the amount of $23,859.67, but denies that it

Penn.ylvania bu.ine.. corporation. with their management office.
at 1200 Old Camp Hill Bypa.., Camp Hill, penn.ylvania. A true
and correct oopy of defendant.' an.wer with new matter, including
all exhibit., ia attaohed hereto and inoorporated here by
referenoe as exhibit B.
3. Additional defendant Administrative OffJ,ce of
Penn.ylvania Courts ("AOPC") is a governmental entity with its
principal oft ice at suite 1414, 1515 Market street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
4. In or about March 1994, AOPC entered into a commercial
lease ("the lease") for certail, space in The Fulton Building, 200
North Third street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, namely, the
sixteenth (16th) floor of that building, which spaoe was obtained
for use a. an office by Honorable Thomas G. Saylor of the
Superior Court of Pennsylvania and his staff.
5. A true and correct copy of that lease is attached as
Exhibit C and is incorporated here by reference.
6. At the time the lease was signed, defendant Central
Dauphin Realty Co. owned the property, but SUbject to an
agreement of sale in favor of defendant 200 North Third, Inc.
7. This impending change of ownership was revealed to AOPC
through paragraph 59 of the lease.
8. Following execution of the lease, the sale of the
property was consummated, and defendant 200 North Third, Inc. is
now the record owner of the property.
'"
~
..
;
9. Pursuant to paragraph 9 of the lease, oertain agreed-
upon reno'Yations and oonstruotion work were to be performed, at
the landlord's sole expense, to prepare the spaoe leased to AOPC
for Judge Saylor's use.
10. That same provision doolared that "no ohange ordllrs for
.uch oon.truotion [shall be made] without the express writton
oon.ent of both parties .... II
11. Defendants believe and therefore aver that AOPC, acting
through Judge Saylor, members of his staff, or a decorating firm
retained by AOPC or Judge Saylor, dealt direotly with the
construction firm retained by the landlord to obtain additional
or different renovations and construction work within the leased
spaoe without (1) notifying the landlord (defendants herein or
their agents) or (2) Obtaining the landlord's written consent,
pursuant to paragraph 9 of the lease.
12. After AOPC occupied the space in defendants' building,
that construction firm, plaintiff herein, filed the instant civil
action.
13. Count IV of plaintiff's complaint seeks a recovery
against defendants for renovations and construction work that
plaintiff claims to have performed on the 16th floor of The
Fulton Building, the space leased to AOPC by defendants.
14. Defendants have denied liability for amounts claimed in
Count IV of the complaint beyond the sum of $53,718.19, the
.
""
...
fi9ure already paid to plaintiff by defendant. for plaintiff'.
work on the 16th floor of The Fulton Building.
1~. The unpaid amount claimed by plaintiff in Count IV of
the oompl.int, if it oan be established as payable at all, i.
properly payable by AOPC.
16. AOPC violated its lease with defendants when it
authorized plaintiff to perform renovations and construction work
in the leased space without first obtaining the express written
consent of the landlord (defendants herein).
17. As a direct rasult of that willful lease violation by
AOPC, defendants have been damaged by being foroed to defend a
civil action, incurring attorneys' fees and other expenses I
additional damage may result to defendants following trial if a
judqment is rendered for plaintiff on Count IV of its complaint.
18. Thus, if defendants are found liable to plaintiff for
any BUmB claimed in Count IV of the complaint, defendants are
entitled to recover that same amount, plus interest, costs, and
expenses inourred by them in defending the civil wction,
including legal fees, from AOPC.
19. In any event, defendants are entitled to recover from
AOPC their oosts in defsnding the civil action, reasonably
allocated to the defense of Count IV alone.
WHEREFORE, defendants and third-party plaintiffs, 200 North
Third, Inc. and Central Dauphin Realty Co., respectfully request
thi. Honorable Court to enter judgment in their favor and against

ever, that they owe plaintiff the additional sum of $93,310.92.

PRELlMINARV OBJECTIONS
OF THIRD-PARTY DEFENDANT,
THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF PENNSYLVANIA COURTS
Third-Party Defendant, the Administrative Office of the Pennsylvania Courts
(the "AOPC"), by its undersigned attorneys, hereby makes the following Preliminary
Objections to the Complaint in this matter:
1. As this matter concerns an alleged contract between the Administrative
Office of the Pennsylvania Courts, a Commonwealth agency, and defendants 200
North Third Street, Inc., and Central Dauphin Realty, Inc., the Board of Claims has
exclusive Jurisdiction over the matter.
until 1994, when It sold the building to 200 N0I1h Third, Inc. Charles R, Davis Is the
President of 200 North Third, Inc. Miller Norford sued In Common Pleas Court for
unpaid renovations It allegedly made to the Fulton Building. The AOPC was not
originally a party to this action. Defendantsnhlrd-Party Plaintiffs 200 North Third,
Inc. and Central Dauphin Realty now naml~ the AOPC as a third-party defendant.
In 1994, Central Dauphin Realty Company sold the Fulton Building (located
at 200 No. Third Street In Harrisburg) to Charles Davis, (president of 200 North
Third, Inc.). Also In 1994, the AOPC signed a lease with Central Dauphin Realty
and 200 North Third, Inc., under which The Honorable Thomas G.Saylor, of the
Superior Court of Pennsylvania, would occupy the 16th floor of the Fulton Building.'
Mr. Davis hired Miller & Norford to make renovations to the building.
Third-Party Plaintiffs, Central Dauphin Realty and 200 North Third, cite a
provision of their lease with the AOPC, under which no additional renovations could
be made to the leased space without the approval of all signatories to the lease.
Third-Party Plaintiffs allege that the AOPC violated this lease provision by asking
Miller Norford to make renovations beyond what had been previously agreed to by
the parties.
'Because the sale ofthe Fulton Building by Central Dauphin Realty to 200 North
Third, Inc. was not yet final when the lease was signed, both Central Dauphin and 200
North Third, Inc. are named in the Icase.

III.~
For all of the above-clted reasons, Third-Party Defendant, the Administrative
Office of the Pennsylvania Courts, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
grant Its preliminary objections, and DISMISS this case with prejudice.
