Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Nov 8, 2022
Autumn Lakes Association, Plaintiff, v. Jame Q. Tran, Defendant-Appellant/Cross-Respondent, and TSJ Holdings, LLC, Third-Party Intervenor-Respondent/Cross-Appellant.
This case involved two appeals. The first appeal, brought by TSJ Holdings, LLC, challenged the circuit court's decision to set aside a default judgment against Jame Q. Tran for improper service; this appeal was dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction due to an untimely notice of appeal. The second appeal, brought by Tran, challenged a judgment awarding damages to TSJ Holdings for unjust enrichment. The appellate court reversed the unjust enrichment judgment, finding no substantial evidence that Tran benefited from TSJ's payments for homeowner's insurance or property management fees.
