Tinnin sought judicial review of a decision by the MODOT & Patrol Employees' Retirement System (MPERS) board of trustees, which corrected a calculation error that reduced her future monthly retirement benefits. The trial court reversed MPERS's decision, applying equitable estoppel and interpreting the relevant statutes to include a reasonableness limitation on MPERS's duty to correct errors. The appellate court reversed the trial court's judgment, holding that MPERS had a mandatory statutory duty to correct calculation errors discovered within ten years, and this duty was not subject to a reasonableness limitation or equitable estoppel.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","civil-procedure","standard-of-review","governmental-immunity"],"outcomeNorm":"reversed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=187095","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/judy-a-tinnin-v-modot-patrol-employees-retirement-system-d84636","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
