The STC had found Grady held only a leasehold interest, valued at zero, using the bonus value method. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, holding that the plain language of the contracts between Grady and the City of Kansas City demonstrated Grady owned the improvements, not merely a leasehold interest. Consequently, the bonus value method was deemed an inappropriate valuation approach, and the case was remanded to the STC for reconsideration.","primaryTopic":"property-real-estate","topicSlugs":["property-real-estate","administrative-law","contracts","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=162797","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/david-cox-platte-county-assessor-and-park-hill-school-district-v-grady-ho-d83097","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate","topic: property-real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
