The Missouri Supreme Court dismissed all appeals for lack of jurisdiction, holding that none of the appealed orders constituted a \"final judgment\" as required by section 512.020(5). The Court clarified the definition of a \"judgment\" and the criteria for a \"judicial unit\" eligible for Rule 74.01(b) certification, finding that the orders in this case did not meet these requirements.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","summary-judgment"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=148513","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/james-j-wilson-et-al-respondents-v-city-of-st-louis-et-al-respondents-and-c97544","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
