Bacon alleged an oral agreement for the sale of her archery business, arguing it was an installment contract and thus not subject to the five-year statute of limitations. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the factual disputes were not material to the statute of limitations defense and that Bacon's vague oral agreement did not constitute an installment contract, making her claims time-barred.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","summary-judgment","contracts"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=175882","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/sally-bacon-appellant-v-jeffrey-friedman-et-al-respondent-109141","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: contract","text: business"],"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: summary-judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
