Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Apr 20, 2020
BERMAN, DELEVE, KUCHAN & CHAPMAN, LLC, Appellant vs. 417 RENTALS, LLC, Respondent
BDKC, a law firm, appealed the circuit court's judgment setting aside the registration of a bankruptcy court order that awarded BDKC fees and expenses against 417 Rentals, LLC. The circuit court had set aside the registration, finding the bankruptcy order was not a final judgment entitled to full faith and credit. The appellate court reversed, holding that 417 Rentals' defense to the registration was untimely under Missouri's Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Law, making the registration a final judgment.
