Supreme Court of Missouri

State ex rel. Kenneth Zellers v. the Honorable Brenda Stacey

October 1, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri held that venue for the declaratory judgment action was proper in Cole County under the general venue statute §508.010.2, because the Director resides there, and that §536.050.1 does not apply absent a promulgated administrative rule; the Court made the preliminary writ of prohibition permanent, ordering the lower court to transfer the case to Cole County.
