Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jun 3, 2025
Hazelcrest I & II Condominium Association, Appellant, v. 7520 Hazel Crest LLC, Respondent.
Hazelcrest I & II Condominium Association obtained a default judgment against 7520 Hazel Crest LLC for unpaid assessments. The circuit court subsequently granted 7520 Hazel Crest LLC's motion to set aside the default judgment. On appeal, the Eastern District reversed, holding that 7520 Hazel Crest LLC failed to prove good cause for setting aside the default judgment under Rule 74.05(d) because merely alleging a registered agent failed to provide notice, without further explanation, is insufficient to show a good faith mistake rather than recklessness.
