When the parties disagreed on the scope of covered repairs, the Brewers sought to invoke the policy's appraisal provision and moved the circuit court to appoint an umpire. The appellate court reversed the circuit court's order, holding that the dispute concerned the scope of coverage, not merely the amount of loss, and therefore the appraisal provision was inapplicable. The court vacated the judgment and dismissed the petition for umpire appointment without prejudice.","primaryTopic":"insurance","topicSlugs":["insurance","contracts","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=185017","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/philip-brewer-and-lori-brewer-v-state-farm-fire-and-casualty-company-d84331","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"insurance-bad-faith","label":"Insurance Bad Faith","href":"/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: insurance","topic: insurance"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith"},{"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"}]}
