Richest appealed the dismissal of his whistleblower claim against the City of Kansas City, Missouri, which alleged he was terminated for reporting a supervisor's policy violation. The trial court granted the City's motion to dismiss, finding the claim time-barred by the one-year statute of limitations. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that it was not clear from the face of the petition whether the Human Resources Board's decision upholding Richest's termination constituted a \"disciplinary action\" under the whistleblower statute, thus precluding dismissal on statute of limitations grounds at this stage.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=184355","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/b-richest-v-city-of-kansas-city-missouri-d84464","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"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":"appellant"}]}
