Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Dec 11, 2024
DEBRA WAX, Plaintiff-Appellant v. SARAH VICKERS, Defendant-Respondent
Debra Wax filed an ejectment petition against Sarah Vickers, her daughter, seeking possession of a property. After a bench trial, the court ruled in favor of Vickers. On appeal, Wax argued the judgment was against the weight of the evidence and the trial court misapplied the law. The appellate court affirmed, holding that Wax failed to prove a superior right to possession and did not properly preserve her 'against the weight of the evidence' claim by following the mandatory analytical sequence.
