Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jun 11, 2024
JOE DAVID HUDSON, Plaintiff-Respondent v. JOPLIN REGIONAL STOCKYARDS, INC., Defendant-Appellant
Joe David Hudson (Employee) and Joplin Regional Stockyards, Inc. (Employer) entered into a workers' compensation settlement agreement, which was later registered as a judgment. When Employee sought to revive the judgment, Employer opposed, arguing it was satisfied. The circuit court revived the judgment, and Employer appealed. The Southern District dismissed the appeal, holding that Employer lacked standing because it was not aggrieved by the judgment's revival, and awarded Employee damages for a frivolous appeal.
