Mike and Mark Farms, LLC, Et al. Missouri Cases

Tenants Derek Fuemmeler and Steven Cleeton appealed the trial court's grant of summary judgment to Mike and Mark Farms, LLC, et al. (Tregnago Defendants) and John and Cindy Winkleblack (Winkleblacks), and the denial of their own motion for summary judgment. The dispute centered on whether two farm leases satisfied the statute of frauds, Section 432.010, RSMo. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the leases provided sufficient means to identify the properties with reasonable certainty, thereby satisfying the statute of frauds. The court also noted that summary judgment was improperly granted to non-moving parties.
