State of Missouri ex rel. Department of Natural Resources v. Fowler Land Company, Inc., and Margaret Leist Revocable…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri reversed the Mining Commission’s award of attorney fees to the landowners because their fee application was filed beyond the thirty‑day statutory deadline, determining that the landowners first prevailed on June 12, 2015, when the circuit court entered its judgment. The Court also overruled the landowners’ motion for additional fees.
