The appellate court reversed and remanded the judgment. This decision was based on a companion appeal (WD85658) which held that Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri should have been permitted to intervene in the underlying lawsuit, thus requiring the trial court to act in accordance with that opinion.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=203973","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/james-d-merchant-et-al-james-d-merchant-personal-representative-for-james-d85650","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: 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","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
