U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-1849
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - contracts. Denial of G.T.'s motion for summary judgment
on its indemnification claim amounted to entry of summary judgment in
favor of third party defendant; district court did not err in choosing to
apply Missouri law; district court improperly granted summary judgment
in favor of HBD on the ground HBD did not retain a duty to the plaintiff
coextensive and identical to the duty G.T. maintained to the plaintiff;
reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
