Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Aug 12, 2025
Xtra Lease LLC, Respondent, v. United Trans Logistics, Inc., Appellant.
Appellant United Trans Logistics appealed the circuit court's denial of its second motion to set aside a default judgment entered in favor of Respondent Xtra Lease LLC. The underlying dispute involved breach of contract and an action on account. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's denial, holding that the second motion to set aside the default judgment was barred by the doctrine of res judicata because the issues raised were substantially the same as those litigated in Appellant's first motion, which was not timely appealed.
