The circuit court had sustained Haynes's motion to join Mother as a necessary and indispensable third party under Rule 52.04(a). The appellate court made its preliminary writ of prohibition permanent, finding that the circuit court abused its discretion because Mother was not a necessary party under Rule 52.04(a).","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=201223","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-ex-rel-melissa-hogg-relator-v-the-honorable-wendy-wexle-111910","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"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"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
