Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Oct 22, 2019
Elad Gross vs. A New Missouri, Inc., et al
Elad Gross appealed the dismissal of his amended petition against A New Missouri, Inc. and its officers, seeking to inspect corporate records under the Missouri Nonprofit Corporation Act. The trial court dismissed the petition with prejudice for failure to state a claim, finding Gross did not sufficiently plead that A New Missouri had a self-perpetuating board or that he was a beneficiary of its services. The appellate court affirmed, agreeing that Gross failed to plead the statutory prerequisites for inspecting records and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying leave to amend, as Gross never requested it.
