Supreme Court of Missouri

Dwight Tuttle v. Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers, Inc., David Dobbs, and Dustin Dobbs

December 24, 2019

Summary

The Court held that the Missouri Human Rights Act does not apply to Tuttle's age-discrimination and retaliation claims because the alleged adverse impacts occurred entirely in Illinois and the statute contains no express authorization for extraterritorial application. Because Tuttle's petition did not allege an actionable adverse impact in Missouri, the circuit court properly dismissed the claims with prejudice.
