Defense of Fidelity & Surety Client Results in Summary Judgment
Baker Sterchi’s defense of a notary in a Clay County, Missouri action resulted in summary judgment in favor of our client, the fidelity and surety insurer of the notary. In this case, plaintiff sought to recover under a notarial bond issued by our client to insure faithful performance of its principal, a notary. Baker Sterchi obtained summary judgment in favor of the client by successfully arguing that a three year statute of limitations applied and that the statute of limitations began to run at the date of the notarization.
