The Supreme Court of Missouri made its preliminary writ of prohibition permanent. The Court held that Alsup was entitled to official immunity because the decision and manner of physically restraining a student are discretionary acts, not ministerial duties, thus the ministerial act exception to official immunity did not apply.","primaryTopic":"governmental-immunity","topicSlugs":["governmental-immunity","civil-procedure","negligence","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=147176","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-carlos-d-alsup-relator-v-the-honorable-james-f-kanatzar-resp-c97427","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
