The trial court granted injunctive relief, dictating specific maintenance responsibilities and restrictions for portions of the road. On appeal, the Bundys argued the trial court misapplied the law. The appellate court vacated the judgment and remanded the case, holding that a statutory remedy under Chapter 228 RSMo provided an adequate remedy at law, precluding equitable injunctive relief, and that the injunction granted exceeded the scope of the pleadings and evidence.","primaryTopic":"property-real-estate","topicSlugs":["property-real-estate","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=221454","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/gordon-bundy-and-marlene-bundy-trustees-of-the-gordon-g-bundy-and-marlene-d38365","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate","topic: property-real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"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"},{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: maintenance"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
