State of Missouri ex rel. Cedar Crest Apartments, LLC and Peterson Properties, Inc. D/b/a the Peterson Companies…

Summary

The Missouri Supreme Court granted a writ of prohibition, holding that Missouri courts lack both general and specific personal jurisdiction over Kansas‑based Cedar Crest Apartments, LLC and Peterson Properties, Inc., and that neither agency imputation from their Missouri parent nor piercing the corporate veil can confer jurisdiction. The court affirmed the writ, permanently barring the lower court from proceeding against the defendants.
