    88 S.W.3d 1 (Mo. Ct. App. 2002)   Cited 56 times
    Holding that "[e]xcept for [Rusk Farms, Inc. v. Ralston Purina Co., 689 S.W.2d 671 (Mo. Ct. App. 1985)], Missouri courts have consistently held that pecuniary loss is an essential element of an action sounding in interference with contracts or business expectancy," and that " presumptive award of nominal damages is not an option in deciding if [the plaintiff] made a submissible case" for tortious interference

    "To preserve evidentiary questions for appeal, there must be an objection giving the grounds at the time the evidence is sought to be introduced and the same objection must . . . then [be] carried forward in the appeal brief." Rogers v. B. G. Transit Corp., 949 S.W.2d 151, 153[1] (Mo.App. 1997). Grounds for excluding evidence that are not stated in an objection are waived, and a party may not advance on appeal an objection to evidence different from the one made to the trial court.

    73 S.W.3d 784 (Mo. Ct. App. 2002)   Cited 9 times

    Also, Shirkey did not respond when asked if any members of the panel could not follow the standard of care that had been read to them aloud during voir dire; if any veniremen could not apply the burden of proof as explained to them by counsel and the trial court; or if any of the venire panel members could not find liability, apportion fault or award damages based on the instructions and evidence presented. While Shirkey may have expressed a general feeling against excessive lawsuits, it was not clear that that translated into a bias against Joy. Rogers v. B.G. Transit Corp., 949 S.W.2d 151, 156 (Mo.App. 1997). Mere equivocation is not enough to disqualify a juror.

    To preserve an evidentiary objection for appeal, the objection must be made at the time the evidence is being introduced, and the same objection must be carried forward on appeal. Rogers v. B.G.

Transit Corp., 949 S.W.2d 151, 153 (Mo.App.S.D.1997). “Moreover, objections to evidence must be specific, must point out the grounds thereof, and are to be determined upon the grounds stated therein.”

  6. Midland Property Partners, LLC v. Watkins

    Holding that contract must provide expressly for attorney's fees to justify departure from the American Rule, and, with agreement allowing the recovery of "costs" only, lower court erred in awarding attorney's fees

    Appellant, however, failed to raise this objection at trial; thus, it was not preserved for our review. See Rogers v. B.G. Transit Corp., 949 S.W.2d 151, 153 (Mo.App.S.D.1997) (explaining that “[t]o preserve evidentiary questions for appeal, there must be an objection giving the grounds at the time the evidence is sought to be introduced” and that an appellant cannot “alter or broaden the scope of the objection on appeal”). Appellant further contends that the circuit court erroneously permitted Respondents to amend their pleadings after the close of evidence pursuant to Rule 55.33(b).

  8. State v. Middlemist

    319 S.W.3d 531 (Mo. Ct. App. 2010)   Cited 10 times

    While Defendant asserts that the trial court's admission of evidence relating to Defendant's electronic bank transfers also violated the "prior bad acts" rule, the State's assertion that Defendant did not preserve the issue for our review is well-taken. Preservation of evidentiary questions for appeal requires an objection at the time the evidence is sought to be introduced along with the same objection being carried forward on appeal. Rogers v. B.G. Transit Corp., 949 S.W.2d 151, 153 (Mo. App. 1997). An objection to the admissibility of evidence must be specific.
