Laclede Gas appealed, raising six points of error, including the application of a damages cap, the sufficiency of evidence for McGaughy's claims, the propriety of a jury instruction, and the admission of 'me too' evidence. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no errors warranting reversal, and remanded the case to the trial court to determine the appropriate attorneys' fees on appeal.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","evidence","jury-instructions"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=154655","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/danielle-mcgaughy-respondent-v-laclede-gas-company-et-al-appellants-107498","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law","text: discrimination","text: retaliation"],"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: jury-instructions","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
