Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Mar 5, 2024
Kevin Barnett and R.E. General Contracting, LLC, Respondents, vs. Jeffrey Forster, et al., Appellants.
Jeffrey Forster and others appealed from a trial court's judgment granting a partnership accounting to Kevin Barnett and R.E. General Contracting, LLC. The trial court certified its interlocutory order for appeal under Rule 74.01(b). The appellate court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, holding that an order merely granting the right to an accounting, without the accounting itself being completed or denied, is not a final judgment eligible for certification under Rule 74.01(b) because no distinct judicial unit has been fully resolved.
