The dispute centered on whether the Clerk had a statutory duty to extend Boonville's taxes and if she was entitled to compensation under either a 1991 or 2018 contract. The appellate court affirmed in part and reversed in part, holding that the Clerk had no statutory duty to extend municipal taxes, the 1991 contract had expired, and she was not a party to the 2018 contract, thus not entitled to compensation under it.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","contracts","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=182154","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/cooper-county-clerk-sarah-herman-et-al-v-cooper-county-commission-et-al-d84351","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":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: contract"],"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":"appellant"}]}
