Kennedy asserted a counterclaim for breach of warranty of habitability, failure to return a security deposit, and set-off. The circuit court found Kennedy owed J&M $813.00 but also found J&M owed Kennedy $1,005.00, resulting in a net judgment of $192.00 in favor of Kennedy. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that a money judgment cannot be entered against an assignee for an amount exceeding the assignee's claim, where the overpayment was made to the assignor.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","landlord-tenant","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=183020","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/j-m-securities-llc-appellant-v-nikki-m-kennedy-respondent-109593","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: landlord-tenant"],"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"}]}
