Summary

The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s grant of summary judgment, holding that the appellants’ fraudulent concealment claims are barred by the five‑year statute of limitations for fraud under RSMo 516.120(5). The court relied on the discovery rule and prior controlling precedent, and therefore did not need to address res judicata.
