The trial court found a technical trespass for the curb stop but awarded no damages, and found no trespass for the excavation, prompting Jones's appeal. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the excavation was within a valid utility right-of-way and that the statutory trespass claim for the curb stop failed because the statute does not cover man-made items like curb stops.","primaryTopic":"property-real-estate","topicSlugs":["property-real-estate","civil-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=188216","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/kennedy-jones-v-leath-sons-inc-d84771","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: property-real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"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"},{"caseId":"moappwd:wd64200:undated","opinionId":"f72797ae-d851-59a0-b7ef-4a4f32d78a55","slug":"kennedy-jones-respondent-v-the-housing-authority-of-kansas-city-missouri-d64200","caseName":"Kennedy Jones, Respondent, v.
