The trial court dismissed the action with prejudice for failure to state a claim. On appeal, the Southern District affirmed, holding that Branson's Nantucket failed to plead sufficient facts to overcome the attorney privilege, as its petition merely stated conclusions rather than specific allegations of fraud, collusion, or malicious acts by the attorneys. The court also affirmed the dismissal of the civil conspiracy claim, as it was dependent on the failed tortious interference claim.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","contracts","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=216993","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/bransons-nantucket-llc-appellant-v-timeshare-law-office-llc-neally-law-ll-d38350","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc"],"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":"appellant"}]}
