Supreme Court of Missouri

City of Normandy v. Mike Kehoe

April 15, 2025

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of the state's motion to dissolve a permanent injunction barring enforcement of two statutes previously declared unconstitutional. It held that a change in decisional law does not create a per se entitlement to relief under Rule 74.06(b)(5), and the circuit court acted within its discretion in finding that the equities did not favor dissolving the injunction. The Court also emphasized that the unchallenged declaratory judgment independently continued to bar enforcement of the statutes.
