Striking of Catch-All Phrases and Scandalous Word from Complaint
Fenstermacher v. Sands Bethlehem Retail, PICS Case No. 17-0080 (C.P. Dec. 7, 2016) Murray, J. (8 pages).
The building services company responsible for cleaning floors was included in a suit for premises liability/personal injury resulting from the fall of a patron on a slippery floor. The company objected to several phrases as overly broad/insufficiently specific, and a needless use of the word “vicious” in the description of the fall. The court agreed and struck the accused language from the complaint.
