BARRY, INC. v. FALK

No. WD 67081.

217 S.W.3d 317 (2007)

BARRY, INC., and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Appellants, v. Veronica FALK, Respondent.

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

March 6, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jo Stephanie Warmund, Kansas City, MO, for Appellant.

James Hayes Bell, Kansas City, for Respondent.


RONALD R. HOLLIGER, Presiding Judge.

We find that Barry actually seeks to modify the award, not interpret it, and its request for that relief is an impermissible attempt to collaterally attack the award. Therefore, we affirm.
