The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, primarily due to the appellants' failure to comply with mandatory appellate briefing rules, which preserved nothing for review. The court also rejected the appellants' arguments regarding the appropriateness of restitution versus rescission and the public policy scope of the MMPA for corporate consumers.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","contracts","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=149513","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-ex-rel-attorney-general-eric-schmitt-plaintiff-responde-d35829","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"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"},{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: state of missouri"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
