Supreme Court of Missouri

City of St. Louis; St. Louis County; and Jackson County v. State of Missouri; and Eric Schmitt

April 26, 2022

Summary

The Missouri Supreme Court reversed the circuit court’s judgment on the pleadings and remanded, holding that the plaintiffs lacked an adequate remedy at law and therefore may pursue a declaratory‑judgment action. The Court declined to enter judgment on the merits under Rule 84.14, directing the lower court to continue proceedings on the constitutional challenges.
