Ferrellgas, Inc., et al Missouri Cases

Floyd Steven Wiedner sued his former employer, Ferrellgas, Inc., alleging violations of the Missouri Human Rights Act. After an arbitrator awarded Wiedner damages and attorney's fees, he moved the trial court to partially vacate the award, arguing the arbitrator improperly reduced his requested attorney's fees and denied pre- and post-judgment interest. The appellate court affirmed the denial of Wiedner's motion to vacate the attorney's fee award, finding the arbitrator acted within discretion. However, the court reversed the denial of post-judgment interest, remanding for the trial court to modify its judgment to include it.
