Bower v. Weisman
United States District Court, S.D. New York
639 F. Supp. 532 (S.D.N.Y. 1986)
Bower (plaintiff) sued Weisman and two corporate entities (defendants) for breaching an agreement made before the two ended their personal and business relationship, also raising claims of fraud, trespass, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and private nuisance. Weisman moved for a more definite statement and to dismiss the fraud claim for lacking the particularity required for fraud, and moved to dismiss the trespass, false imprisonment, emotional distress, and nuisance claims for failing to state a claim.
Whether a complaint is valid when it alleges several claims against several defendants without specifying which claims apply to which defendant, and includes claims unsupported by facts establishing a required element of the cause of action.
