The circuit court denied the Bank's petition, finding it failed to provide reasonable notification of the sale and incorrectly classified the dealers-only auction as a public sale. The Supreme Court of Missouri reversed the circuit court's judgment, holding that the Bank properly sent the post-sale explanation and that the dealers-only auction was a private sale, thus complying with statutory notice requirements. The cause was remanded for further proceedings.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=189142","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/the-central-trust-bank-appellant-v-barbara-branch-and-alexis-branch-respo-c99297","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"},{"caseId":"moappd:ed109020:2021-07-27","opinionId":"cf3df9da-8bdd-5972-9671-65afc702eedb","slug":"the-central-trust-bank-appellant-v-barbara-branch-and-alexis-branch-respo-109020","caseName":"The Central Trust Bank, Appellant, vs. Barbara Branch and Alexis Branch, Respondents.","caseNumber":"ED109020","court":"moappd","courtLabel":"Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District","decisionDate":"2021-07-27","year":2021,"display_summary":"The Central Trust Bank appealed a judgment in favor of Barbara and Alexis Branch regarding a deficiency judgment after the repossession and sale of their vehicle.
