Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Jun 26, 2018
MJDZ, L.L.C., A Missouri Limited Liability Company vs. Mario De La Cruz and Deanna James
MJDZ, L.L.C. filed a rent and possession case against Mario De La Cruz and Deanna James, who asserted counterclaims for breach of implied warranty of habitability and damages. The trial court entered a judgment for MJDZ, but did not explicitly rule on the tenants' counterclaims. On appeal, the Western District of the Missouri Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal for lack of a final judgment, holding that the trial court's judgment failed to dispose of all claims and did not include an express determination that there was no just reason for delay.
