Missouri appeals court finds trial court erred over unruled amendment motion
Original: COA: Trial court erred when it failed to rule on motion to amend petition
The Missouri Court of Appeals has ruled that a trial court committed error when it failed to rule on a motion to amend a petition. The decision, reported by Missouri Lawyers Media, turns on procedural obligations: trial judges must address pending motions to amend before moving a case forward, and skipping that step can require appellate review.
Why now: The appellate ruling clarifies procedural duties for Missouri trial courts, making it notable for litigation practitioners.
