The circuit court granted summary judgment for the Medical Center, finding Lackey failed to create a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether he was \"disabled\" as defined by the MHRA. The appellate court affirmed, concluding that Lackey did not provide evidence that the Medical Center knew of his claimed disability at the time of the adverse employment decision.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","summary-judgment","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=210353","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/john-lackey-plaintiff-appellant-v-phelps-county-regional-medical-center-d-d38287","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law","text: discrimination","text: mhra","text: employment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
