The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed, holding that Williams Sr. was never a party to the grandmother's suit due to non-compliance with Rule 52.12(c) for intervention. Furthermore, the court held that a voluntary dismissal under Rule 67.02(a) is not a \"final judgment or order\" that can be set aside under Rule 74.06(b).","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","wrongful-death","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=143317","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/delores-henry-plaintiff-v-paul-piatchek-et-al-respondents-darrell-william-c97385","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"wrongful-death","label":"Wrongful Death","href":"/practice-areas/wrongful-death","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: wrongful-death"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/wrongful-death"},{"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"}]}
