Supreme Court of Missouri
Christopher Zang v. City of St. Charles, Missouri
January 31, 2023
Summary
The Court affirmed dismissal of Zang’s premises-liability claim because the City’s charter notice requirement does not irreconcilably conflict with the cited statutes or Missouri’s constitutional home-rule provision. The notice requirement is valid even though it imposes a condition in addition to the five-year limitations period and applies more broadly than certain statutory notice provisions. The Court held that the statutes neither prohibit the City’s notice requirement nor occupy the field of municipal notice requirements.
