Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Jul 16, 2019
KC Air Cargo Services, Inc. vs. The City of Kansas City, Missouri
KC Air Cargo Services, Inc. (KCACS) appealed the circuit court's denial of attorneys' fees, while The City of Kansas City, Missouri (the City) cross-appealed the circuit court's finding that KCACS had successfully exercised a lease renewal option. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's denial of attorneys' fees, finding no abuse of discretion. However, the court modified the judgment on the cross-appeal, holding that the circuit court exceeded its mandate by declaring KCACS had successfully exercised the option, instead clarifying that KCACS possesses a one-time option to renew the lease.
