After 180 days without the MCHR completing its administrative processing, Green requested a right-to-sue letter, which the MCHR initially issued but later vacated, claiming it lacked jurisdiction. Green then sought and obtained a permanent writ of mandamus from the circuit court, directing the MCHR to issue the letter. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the MCHR had a ministerial duty to issue the right-to-sue letter once the statutory conditions were met, irrespective of an unresolved jurisdictional determination regarding the employer's status.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","administrative-law","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=187178","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-ex-rel-meredith-green-v-missouri-commission-on-human-ri-d84592","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law","text: discrimination","text: employer"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
