The trial court granted summary judgment for the defendants on most counts. On appeal, the Southern District affirmed the summary judgment on Morphis's contract-based and ancillary claims, as well as the protective order and denial of leave to amend. However, the court reversed and remanded the summary judgment on Morphis's fraudulent misrepresentation claim, finding genuine issues of material fact regarding the defendants' representations and the falsity element.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","civil-procedure","summary-judgment","employment-law","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=174373","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/tommy-morphis-appellant-v-bass-pro-group-llc-tracker-marine-llc-and-ken-b-d36307","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc","text: contract"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: evidence","text: summary judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"},{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: employment-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
