Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
James D. Merchant, et al., James D. Merchant, Personal Representative for James T. Merchant (Deceased) vs. Michael Ray Thomas, Jeffrey P. Hoey, et al.
The purported new Board of Directors of Marshall Temple Association appealed a judgment granting injunctive and declaratory relief to the 2019 Board of Directors, which had affirmed the validity of amended articles of incorporation and ownership of assets. The appellate court reversed and remanded the judgment. This decision was based on a companion appeal (WD85658) which held that Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Missouri should have been permitted to intervene in the underlying lawsuit, thus requiring the trial court to act in accordance with that opinion.
