Description
Seven individual plaintiffs, former and current police officers, filed a class action naming both the City of Kansas City,
Missouri, a constitutionally chartered municipal corporation, and the Board of Police Commissioners of Kansas City, Missouri,
as defendants. The suit was first filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Western
Division, No. 76CV588-W-3, but the cause was dismissed by that Court for lack of jurisdiction in February, 1978. The action
was next filed in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri on July 13, 1978. Plaintiffs alleged in their petition that, between the years of 1950 to 1971, they and the class they represented had accumulated
279,000 hours of overtime for which they were not compensated. Defendants filed separate motions to dismiss or in the alternative
to make more definite and certain. In a single judgment said motions to dismiss were sustained as to the Defendant, Board
of Police Commissioners, for the reason that plaintiffs' claim was barred by the statute of limitations; and as to Defendant,
City of Kansas City, Missouri, for the reasons that plaintiffs' petition failed to state a claim against said defendant and
the cause of action was barred by the statute of limitations. This appeal followed.
