The trial court dismissed Loomis's common law claims, finding them preempted by the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA). The appellate court affirmed, holding that 2017 amendments to the MHRA did not eliminate individual liability for discrimination in public accommodation, and therefore, the MHRA continues to preempt common law claims in this area.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","administrative-law","negligence","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=185874","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/garrett-loomis-v-scott-bowers-and-lea-booker-d84424","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":26,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","text: mhra","text: discrimination"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"},{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
