Bringer, et al., sued Respondents Stephen Bringer, et al., and the Bank of Monticello for specific performance and breach of contract related to an option to purchase a family farm. The trial court found the option invalid due to lack of mutual assent and consideration, and that Appellants' notice to exercise the option failed. The appellate court reversed, holding the option was a valid and unambiguous contract, Appellants provided timely notice, Respondents repudiated the option, and the Bank's second deed of trust was inferior to the option due to actual knowledge.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","property-real-estate","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=228699","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/paul-w-bringer-et-al-appellants-v-stephen-bringer-et-al-respondents-113352","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":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: contract"],"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"}]}
