Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Dec 6, 2022
Joemo Holdings, LLC vs. Unique Creations Salon, LLC, and Adam Meisinger and Tamara Meisinger
Joemo Holdings, LLC (Landlord) sued Unique Creations Salon, LLC (Tenant) for rent and possession, to which Tenant counterclaimed for negligence and breach of contract. The trial court found in favor of the Landlord, and Tenant appealed. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, holding that it lacked jurisdiction because the Tenant should have sought a trial de novo under section 512.180.1, as the case was tried without a jury before an associate circuit judge under Chapter 535. The matter was remanded for a determination of appellate attorney's fees.
