HAUFF AND ASSOCIATES, LLC, BRIAN HAUFF and NICOLE HAUFF, Defendants- Missouri Cases

Darinda Baggett sued Hauff and Associates, LLC, Brian Hauff, and Nicole Hauff for breach of a promissory note and guarantee related to the sale of her business. The trial court entered judgment in favor of Baggett, finding the defendants breached the note and guarantee, and awarded Baggett damages, interest, and attorney fees. On appeal, the defendants argued that Baggett lacked standing and capacity to sue, but the appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the defendants waived their argument regarding Baggett's capacity to sue by failing to raise it in a timely motion or responsive pleading.
