Dimple Kelly sued the City of Lee's Summit for wrongful termination under the Missouri Human Rights Act, alleging racial, age, and sex/gender discrimination. The trial court entered judgment for the City after a jury trial. On appeal, Kelly argued that the trial court erred by overruling her objection to the City's modified lawful justification jury instruction (MAI 38.02). The appellate court reversed the judgment and remanded the case for a new trial, finding that the instruction impermissibly modified MAI 38.02 by failing to hypothesize a lawful reason for termination and removing mandatory causation language, thereby prejudicing Kelly.
