Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Oct 31, 2023
Brendan Ford vs. Director of Revenue, State of Missouri
Brendan Ford appealed the suspension of his driving privileges, which was sustained by the circuit court after a trial de novo. Ford contended that the circuit court erred by not preserving a record of the trial de novo. The appellate court agreed, finding the record inadequate for meaningful review. The judgment was reversed, and the case remanded for a new trial de novo on the record.
