disputed claim in Missouri

2011The term “negligent” or “negligence” as used in this instruction means the failure to use that degree of care that an ordinarily careful person would use under the same or similar circumstances. 1 CWF asserts that Instruction No. 11 was erroneous because Gustafson v. Ben da, 661 S.W.2d 11 (Mo. banc 1983), abrogated contributory negligence in favor of comparative fault.

1979The history and cases relating to the cross-examination of a witness, including defendants, as to prior convictions, acts of misconduct, and putting on testimony of overall bad reputation for morality, truth and veracity, and other specific traits of character, are explored in State v.

Bishop, Jr., found in 20 Mo.L.Rev.

1979Aiple, 442 S.W.2d at p. 152 , contains this statement: “[W]hen evidence of the compromise offer is given by or on behalf of the one making the offer such evidence is admissible.” In that case, however, the trial court sustained an objection to certain testimony on the ground that it constituted an unaccepted offer to compromise a disputed claim.

1979We transfer the matter, however, to the Supreme Court for reexamination of the law.” It cannot be discerned whether the court of appeals is urging an absolute rule which would forbid all questions put to any witness, defendant or not, with respect to prior misconduct (other than conviction), or if the court of appeals believes it is foreclosed from considering the prejudicial impact of the disputed inquiry by Foster, supra, and is thereby required to overrule the point.

1961Nevertheless, the contemplated purchase and in the circumstances the offer to sell, as with asking permission to use, is “strong” if not “very powerful” evidence that the prior use was not adverse (Bridle Trail Association v. O’Shanick, Mo.App., 290 S.W.2d 401, 407 ), or to state the inference affirmatively, that her prior use and occupation were in recognition of and in subordination to the title and ownership of the defendant.

1961It is now said that there was no offer to buy the five-foot strip and even had there been such an offer that the fact would not “vitiate her adverse claims.” These were not offers to compromise a disputed claim (Sanderson v. McManus, supra), and it may be that their probative effect is for the trier of the fact (the offer to sell was readily admitted, however).
