An administrative review committee (DRC/CCBC) found her dismissal unreasonable and not based on just cause, ordering her reinstatement. Michael Reuter, the Circuit Clerk, sought judicial review, and the circuit court reversed the administrative decision. The appellate court reversed the circuit court's judgment, holding that the administrative agency's decision was supported by competent and substantial evidence, thus reinstating Hickman's employment.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","employment-law","standard-of-review","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"reinstated","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=133117","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/michael-reuter-v-sharon-hickman-d81632","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: employment-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"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"}]}
