Estate of Laura Downs v. Bugg
Missouri Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
VICTOR C. HOWARD, Judge.
Eldon Bugg appeals the trial court’s judgment denying his motion to quash a writ of sequestration filed by the Estate of Laura Downs. On appeal, he claims that the trial court erred in denying his motion to quash because a court cannot use contempt and sequestration of property to enforce a judgment for the payment of money. Bugg’s wife, Wanda Bugg, appeals the trial court’s judgment denying her application to intervene and contends that she had an unconditional right to intervene in the matter. The judgment of the trial court is reversed and remanded.
