Case file · 25CY-CV04306
A court found the statements made to this couple were false — and knowingly so.
A Clay County homeowner couple contracted with the defendants in March 2023 to install a 119-gallon pressure tank for $1,650.00, and again in August 2024 to install a larger pump for $3,750.00. The court found the work was substandard and not performed in a workmanlike manner, that the installed tank burst and flooded the basement, and that the defendants’ representations were knowingly false. This is the only matter in this record that has reached a final money judgment.

Decided
What the court actually found
A judge entered these in a signed judgment. They are stated as fact here because a court made them so.
- Judgment was entered in favor of the plaintiffs and against the defendants on Count I, breach of contract.
- Judgment was entered in favor of the plaintiffs and against the defendants on Count II, unlawful merchandising practices.
- Judgment was entered in favor of the plaintiffs and against the defendants on Count III, fraudulent misrepresentation.
- Judgment was entered in favor of the plaintiffs and against the defendants on Count IV, unjust enrichment.
- The court found that the defendants’ representations "were false, made knowingly by Defendants, and constitute deception, fraud, false pretense, false promise, and misrepresentation as described at R.S.Mo. § 407.020; therefore, Defendants are in violation of R.S.Mo. § 407.020, which prohibits such practices."
- The court ordered the defendants jointly and severally liable for $8,432.12, plus interest at the legal rate from the date of judgment until paid. Missouri Case.net records the judgment entry as “JUDGMENT OF DEFAULT all as per entry … PLUS INTEREST; PLUS COST OF $105.50,” and lists the Date of Satisfaction as “not yet on file” for both defendants.
- The court found that work performed by the defendants caused a 119-gallon pressure tank they had installed to burst, flooding the basement of the plaintiffs’ property.
- The court found the plaintiffs paid the defendants $5,400.00 total and spent an additional $2,829.68 hiring third parties to correct the work and repair the flood damage.
