Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Dec 13, 2022
Sherice Renee Miller-Weaver vs. Dieomatic Incorporated, d/b/a LMV Automotive Systems
Sherice Renee Miller-Weaver sued her former employer, LMV Automotive Systems, alleging a racially hostile work environment under the Missouri Human Rights Act and failure to issue a proper service letter. Following a jury trial that found in Weaver's favor, LMV appealed, raising four points of error concerning the application of MHRA amendments, pleading requirements, and punitive damages. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment on all points, concluding that the pre-2017 MHRA applied and that Weaver's claims were properly pled and supported by evidence. The case was remanded for a determination of appellate attorney fees and costs.
