Yeokum argued the court erred by delaying discovery on NFM's good cause claim for failing to respond to the petition. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that a motion to set aside a default judgment under Rule 74.05(d) is an independent action, entitling the party resisting the motion to conduct discovery before the motion is decided.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=210416","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/william-yeokum-v-the-national-football-museum-inc-d86500","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"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":"respondent"}]}
