Kennedy v. Dixongreen
mo · 1969 · cited in 2 Missouri opinions naming this issue, 1975–1988
2 sentences

1988In Kennedy v. Dixon, 439 S.W.2d 173, 184 (Mo. banc 1969), Missouri abandoned the lex loci delicti rule in favor of applying the law of the state with “the most significant relationship to the occurrence and the parties.” Plaintiff contends that this should be done and Missouri law applied.

1975Appellant’s argument is based primarily on Kennedy v. Dixon, 439 S.W.2d 173 (Mo. banc 1969), in which the court abandoned the lex loci delicti rule of choice of law in foreign tort cases in favor of the “most significant relationship” test, as set out in § 145, 1 Restatement of Conflict of Laws 2d, (1971), p. 414.
