Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Mar 30, 2021
Sally Bacon, Appellant, v. Jeffrey Friedman, et al., Respondent.
Sally Bacon appealed the circuit court's grant of summary judgment to Jeffrey Friedman and others, which found her claims for breach of contract, quantum meruit, and unjust enrichment time-barred. Bacon alleged an oral agreement for the sale of her archery business, arguing it was an installment contract and thus not subject to the five-year statute of limitations. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the factual disputes were not material to the statute of limitations defense and that Bacon's vague oral agreement did not constitute an installment contract, making her claims time-barred.
