Cort argued that Midwest Surgery's claims were barred by the statute of limitations. The appellate court reversed in part, holding that Midwest Surgery's claims for suit on account and unjust enrichment were barred by the five-year statute of limitations due to the absence of a written contract with Cort. However, Midwest Neurosurgeons' breach of contract claim, supported by a written agreement, was not time-barred. The case was remanded for the trial court to enter judgment accordingly.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","civil-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=229240","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/midwest-neurosurgeons-llc-and-midwest-surgery-center-llc-respondents-v-si-113376","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"medical-malpractice","label":"Medical Malpractice","href":"/practice-areas/medical-malpractice","score":6,"source":"text","evidence":["text: surgery"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/medical-malpractice"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":5,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","fallback litigation route behind specific injury signal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
