Coburn alleged that default judgments obtained by Kramer & Frank were void due to improper appointment of a special process server, thus lacking personal jurisdiction, and asserted claims under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act and for unjust enrichment. The appellate court affirmed, holding that any defects in the process server's appointment were mere irregularities not rendering the judgment void, and Coburn's satisfaction of the underlying judgment was involuntary, so her collateral attack was not moot.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=174633","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/karen-coburn-appellant-v-kramer-frank-pc-respondent-108948","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
