Wilson then filed a declaratory judgment action seeking a declaration that Flernoy, as an employee of the Bi-State Development Agency, was covered by the SLEF. The circuit court granted summary judgment for the State, finding Bi-State is not a state agency. The appellate court affirmed, concluding that Bi-State is an interstate compact entity, not an agency of the State of Missouri, and therefore the SLEF is not available to satisfy the judgment.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","summary-judgment","governmental-immunity"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=174616","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/lisa-wilson-v-attorney-general-and-commissioner-of-administration-d83784","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: summary-judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
