The circuit court denied Trooper Barron's motion for summary judgment, concluding she was not entitled to official immunity. The Missouri Supreme Court issued a preliminary writ of prohibition, which it then made permanent, directing the circuit court to vacate its order and sustain Trooper Barron's motion for summary judgment. The Court held that Trooper Barron's actions during the pursuit were discretionary, not ministerial, thus entitling her to official immunity.","primaryTopic":"governmental-immunity","topicSlugs":["governmental-immunity","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","negligence","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=191004","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-mayela-barron-relator-v-the-honorable-john-d-beger-responden-c99626","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":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: appellate-procedure","text: summary judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
