Andre J. Webb and Francis V. Bovio Obtain Successful Dismissal of Client via Preliminary Objections

Andre J. Webb and Francis V. Bovio obtained the successful dismissal of a client, a regional chain of convenience stores, via Preliminary Objections to the Plaintiff’s Complaint. The Complaint alleged that the client was responsible for a defective sidewalk which caused the Plaintiff injuries. Andre and Francis argued that the sidewalk was not the responsibility of the client and, following extensive briefing and oral argument on the issue, the Court agreed, dismissing the client from the case before having to engage in discovery and protracted litigation.
