Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Christal Allen vs. X&F Enterprise Corp.
Christal Allen obtained a default judgment against X & F Enterprise Corp. in 2011. Ten years later, X & F Enterprise sought a declaratory judgment that the 2011 judgment was satisfied under section 516.350, but the court equitably tolled the ten-year period due to X & F Enterprise's conduct. X & F Enterprise then appealed the revival court's order reviving the 2011 judgment, arguing the tolling court lacked jurisdiction and the revival order was improper. The appellate court affirmed, holding that X & F Enterprise's arguments constituted an impermissible collateral attack on the unappealed tolling judgment and that collateral estoppel barred relitigation of the tolling issue.
