The jury found in Niemeier's favor on both claims, and the circuit court awarded damages and specific performance. The appellate court reversed the judgment on the breach of contract claim, finding no mutual agreement on material terms, and vacated the associated damages and specific performance. However, the court affirmed the judgment on the fraudulent misrepresentation claim, concluding there was sufficient evidence for the jury to find an actionable misrepresentation, reasonable reliance, and intent not to perform.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","civil-procedure","other","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=215957","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/andrew-niemeier-respondent-v-charles-russell-williams-iii-and-green-peak-112584","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc","text: contract"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
