Stiens argued he was entitled to interest under various theories, including statutory provisions, the law of the case, and estoppel. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the AHC lacked statutory authority to award interest on back pay under the relevant statutes, and that Stiens's other arguments were without merit.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","employment-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=226695","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/gregory-steins-v-missouri-department-of-agriculture-d87634","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":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
