Description
Writ of Prohibition This is a consolidated original proceeding in prohibition brought by defendants in a case pending in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis. In No. 65705, Relators assert that Respondent lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the claims asserted against them and that, in any event, the petition fails to state a claim for which relief can be granted. In No. 65832, Relator claims that its co-defendants, the Relators in No. 65705, have been improperly and pretensively joined for the purpose of obtaining venue in the City of St. Louis and that Respondent has exceeded his lawful authority in refusing to transfer the cause to a county of proper venue. We order that our preliminary writs heretofore issued now be made permanent. In the petition filed in the underlying suit, Ronald Snyder (""Plaintiff"") claims he was wrongfully terminated by The Standard Register Company (""Employer"") for asserting his rights under the Missouri Workers' Compensation Act. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (""Insurer"") is Employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier. Greg Vahle (""Agent"") is Insurer's employee who handled Plaintiff's workers' compensation claim. In separate counts, Plaintiff claims that Insurer, through the actions of Agent, tortiously interfered with his business expectation and relation with Employer by refusing to authorize surgery, which allegedly prevented him from returning to work within the guidelines established by Employer.
