Civil Practice: Personal Jurisdiction-Long-Arm Statute-Tortious Interference

Where appellant challenged the grant of a motion to dismiss based on a lack of personal jurisdiction, the appellant did not satisfactorily plead that the respondent committed the tort of tortious interference with contract or business expectancy or injurious falsehood in Missouri, so the appellant did not adequately plead facts to establish personal jurisdiction over the respondent.

Judgment is affirmed.
