The appellate court, however, dismissed the appeal. It held that no appeal lies from the denial of a preliminary writ of mandamus, and the proper recourse for the Rileys was to refile their petition in a higher court.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","workers-compensation"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=126537","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/vicki-riley-and-landon-riley-v-city-administrator-of-the-city-of-liberty-d81077","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"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"}]}
