Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 19, 2021
David L. Jones, Appellant, v. Impact Agape Ministries, C. Kenneth Hayes, and Hosea Jackson, II, Respondents.
David L. Jones appealed from a trial court judgment in favor of defendants Impact Agape Ministries, C. Kenneth Haynes, and Hosea Jackson II, on his breach of contract claim. The trial court had entered judgment for the defendants after a trial de novo, which followed an initial dismissal for failure to prosecute. The appellate court reversed and remanded, finding that no record of the trial de novo was made, which precluded appellate review and necessitated a remand for a proper record to be created.
