Nithyananda counterclaimed, arguing that developer rights were not properly transferred to Fogarty Farms (who created the association) and that the restrictions were abandoned. Nithyananda also challenged the transfer of a common lake lot. The circuit court found developer rights were transferred, restrictions were not abandoned, Nithyananda must comply, and the lake lot remained common ground, awarding attorney fees to the association. The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the circuit court's judgment in all respects.","primaryTopic":"property-real-estate","topicSlugs":["property-real-estate","contracts","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=215315","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/millstone-property-owners-association-respondentcross-appellant-v-nithyan-100574","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate","topic: property-real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"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":"appellant"}]}
