State ex rel. Ajkj, Inc., Relator v. the Honorable Craig E. Hellmann, Respondent.

Summary

The Missouri Supreme Court held that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the Birch Creek residents’ motions to intervene and to set aside the reformation judgment because the judgment became final thirty days after entry and the motions were filed by non‑parties, which are not authorized after‑trial motions. Accordingly, the court made the preliminary writ of prohibition permanent, voiding the lower court’s post‑judgment actions.
