Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Sep 26, 2023
Lisa Weber, et al., Appellants, v. Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Defendant.
Lisa and Samuel Weber appealed the grant of summary judgment in favor of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) on their petition for specific performance and breach of a real estate contract. The trial court found that an addendum to the contract limited the Webers' remedies to liquidated damages and waived specific performance and attorney fees. The appellate court affirmed the summary judgment, holding that the specific reason for FHLMC's termination was immaterial given the contractual limitation on remedies, and that the Webers' second argument regarding an indemnification scheme was unpreserved for appeal.
