Employment: Missouri Human Rights Act-“Employer”

Staff Report//September 18, 2019//

Listen to this article

Plaintiff appealed the adverse grant of summary judgment in her action under the Missouri Human Rights Act. The trail court ruled that defendants did not employ six or more employees and therefore did not qualify as an “employer” under the MHRA.

Where one defendant was not included in the trial court’s summary-judgment order and had not been dismissed from the case, the summary judgment was not a final judgment and therefore the court lacked appellate jurisdiction.

Appeal is dismissed.
