Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Sep 22, 2020
Toobaroo, LLC vs. Western Robidoux, Inc
TooBaRoo, LLC sued Western Robidoux, Inc. for breach of a joint venture agreement, alleging WRI failed to provide equal compensation as agreed and then ousted Toobaroo from the venture. A jury found in favor of Toobaroo, awarding damages. WRI appealed, challenging the sufficiency of evidence for the joint venture's existence and damages, as well as jury instructions and expert testimony. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding sufficient evidence supported the jury's verdict and no reversible error in the jury instructions or admission of expert testimony.
