compulsory counterclaim rule in Missouri

2013See generally Joel Bianco Kawasaki Plus v. Meramec Valley Bank, 81 S.W.3d 528 (Mo. banc 2002).

2008Rule 55.32(a) defines compulsory counterclaims as “any claim which at the time of serving the pleading the pleader has against any opposing party,” provided that (1) “it arises out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the opposing party’s claim” and (2) it “does not require for its adjudication the presence of third parties of whom the court cannot acquire jurisdiction.” “The compulsory counterclaim rule is simply the codification of the principles of res judicata and collateral estoppel.” Joel Bianco, 81 S.W.3d at 534 .

2008See Joel Bianco Kawasaki, 81 S.W.3d at 532 ; Cantrell v. City of Caruthersville, 359 Mo. 282 , 221 S.W.2d 471, 474 (1949). “[T]he general purpose of the [compulsory counterclaim] rule ... is to avoid a multiplicity of suits and to dispose of litigation more expeditiously and properly.” State ex rel.

2013"The purpose of the compulsory counterclaim rule is to promote judicial economy by requiring all logically related claims he brought in a single proceeding." Hemme, 183 S.W.3d at 598 (emphasis added). .

2012However, Hemme held that they did not become opposing parties for purposes of the compulsory counterclaim rule if the cross-claim was only for indemnity, contribution, or allocation of fault. 183 S.W.3d at 597-99 . .

2006In addition to the contradictory language in Brown and Jacobs , the court in Jones v. Corcoran, 625 S.W.2d 173, 175 (Mo.App.1981), reached the opposite conclusion to that in Jacobs , holding that co-defendants became "opposing parties" when they filed cross-claims against each other.

1988More recently, in Hughes v. Spence, 409 S.W.2d 701, 706 (Mo.1986) the court held the compulsory counterclaim rule supersedes even the statutory requirement in Section 508.030 RSMo 1978 of venue of cases involving title of real estate which are to be tried only in the county where the real estate is located.

2014A defending party may establish a right to summary judgment by demonstrating “that there is no genuine dispute as to the existence of each of the facts necessary to support the mov-ant’s properly-pleaded affirmative defense.” ITT Commercial Fin., 854 S.W.2d at 381 (emphasis in original).

2014Warren v. Paragon Technologies Group, Inc., 950 S.W.2d 844, 846 (Mo. banc 1997) (holding that defendants carry the burden of proof on all affirmative defenses).

2012For a thorough explanation of why collateral estoppel cannot be used to preclude a defendant from arguing wrongdoing by a code-fendant in whose favor a summary judgment has been entered when the defendant was not an adverse party in the summary judgment, see Bowers v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 827 So.2d 63, 67 (Ala.2001); Golman v. Tesoro Drilling Corp., 700 F.2d 249, 253 (5th Cir.1983).

2003Publicis Communication v. True N. Communications Inc., 132 F.3d 363, 366 (7th Cir.1997).

2003“Accrued” is defined for purposes of statutes of limitations as “when the damage resulting therefrom is sustained and is capable of ascertainment.” Id.

2003Harmon’s Claim Was Matured At The Time Of The Dismissal “It has been held that a claim falls within the limits of the compulsory counterclaim rule if it has ‘matured’ at the time of the pleading[,] and for this purpose ‘matured’ has the same meaning as the word ‘accrued’ in statutes of limitations.” Port v. Maple Tree Invs., Inc., 900 S.W.2d 3, 5 (Mo.App.1995).

2002For this reason, this Court has often spoken of the underpinnings of the compulsory counterclaim rule utilizing terms usually associated with res judicata, noting that a particular claim was “barred” by the failure to assert it as a counterclaim. 1 As the court of appeals stated in taking this approach, in Beasley v. Mironuck, 877 S.W.2d 653, 656 (Mo.App.

1982Conversion of the pickup truck did arise out of the same “facts and circumstances constituting the foundation” of the earlier lawsuit, Harris v. Nola, supra at 639 , so the claim would fall within the broad meaning given “transaction or occurrence” for purposes of the compulsory counterclaim rule.
