Starbucks Corporation, Appellant.","caseNumber":"ED113748","court":"moappd","courtLabel":"Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District","decisionDate":null,"year":2026,"display_summary":"Starbucks Corporation appealed the circuit court's denial of its combined motion to dismiss negligence claims and/or compel arbitration filed by former employees Michael Harris and Devin Jones-Ransom. The appellate court dismissed the appeal. It found Starbucks failed to comply with Rule 84.04 by providing an incorrect standard of review for the arbitration points. Additionally, the court lacked jurisdiction to review the denial of the motion to dismiss because it was not a final judgment, and the court declined to extend interlocutory appeal jurisdiction.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","contracts","employment-law","workers-compensation"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=231978","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/michael-harris-et-al-respondents-v-starbucks-corporation-appellant-113748","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: corporation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: employment-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
