The underlying dispute involved the City's denial of JTC's application to install oil wells, which JTC and Kerr claimed constituted inverse condemnation. The trial court found their oil and gas lease had terminated due to non-production, thus negating a valuable property right. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the City, though a non-party, could challenge the lease's validity as a defense, but found a genuine issue of material fact existed regarding lease termination due to misinterpretation of \"production\" versus \"sales\" and failure to consider the temporary cessation of production doctrine or abandonment.","primaryTopic":"property-real-estate","topicSlugs":["property-real-estate","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","contracts"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=154939","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/jtc-oil-company-inc-et-al-v-city-of-grandview-d82859","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: property-real-estate","text: lease"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"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: summary-judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"},{"caseId":"moappwd:wd63037:undated","opinionId":"68584c45-1d5d-5045-8449-e15e417f1dfb","slug":"richard-bauer-james-bruce-steve-dwyer-and-delbert-clark-appellants-v-city-d63037","caseName":"Richard Bauer, James Bruce, Steve Dwyer and Delbert Clark, Appellants v.
