Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jul 21, 2021
TOLL BROTHERS AZ LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, f/k/a EDMUNDS-TOLL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, and TOLL BROTHERS AZ CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., f/k/a EDMUNDS-TOLL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, Plaintiffs-Appellants vs. BRENT LANGBEHN, and JENNIFER LANGBEHN, Defendants-Respondents
Toll Brothers appealed from judgments dismissing their attempts to register a foreign (Arizona) judgment against Brent and Jennifer Langbehn in Missouri. The trial courts sustained motions to dismiss and quash execution, finding the registration barred by the statute of limitations. The appellate court affirmed, holding that a 2014 Arizona renewal affidavit was not a new judgment capable of fresh registration in Missouri, and thus the Missouri ten-year statute of limitations applied to the original 2009 Arizona judgment's registration, barring its enforcement.
