Taylor sued the Curators of the University of Missouri, alleging breach of contract and a violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act related to medical billing discounts. The trial court dismissed Count II (MMPA claim) and purported to certify it as a final judgment under Rule 74.01(b). The appellate court dismissed Taylor's appeal for lack of a final judgment, holding that the dismissal of Count II did not fully resolve a distinct \"claim\" or \"judicial unit\" because both counts arose from the same operative facts.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","contracts","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=158455","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/daniel-l-taylor-v-the-curators-of-the-university-of-missouri-d83238","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":20,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
