88.913 Suit to enforce collection of special tax bill.
Status: in_force

88.913. Suit to enforce collection of special tax bill. — In any suit or proceedings to enforce the collection of any special tax bill issued under the provisions of sections 88.863 to 88.910 it shall only be necessary for the owner thereof to charge in the petition that such amount is due by the defendant to the plaintiff for a certain improvement made by virtue of certain ordinances, giving their title and date of adoption; provided, that nothing in said sections shall be so construed as to prevent any defendant from pleading and proving in reduction of any bill any mistake or error in the amount thereof, or that the work therein mentioned was not done in a good and workmanlike manner; and provided further, that if any party shall plead any mistake or error in the amount of the bill, or that the work was not done in a workmanlike manner, and that such party, before the commencement of the suit, tendered to the contractor, or holder of the bill, the full value of the work done, and shall establish the same on the trial, the recovery shall only be in the amount so tendered, and judgment for costs shall be rendered against the plaintiff; provided further, that if it be pleaded and proved that the work for which the bill was issued was not done according to the terms of the contract made by the contractor with the city, then the plaintiff or plaintiffs shall recover thereon only the actual value of the work done, with interest at six percent from date, if of any value; and if not of any value, the judgment shall be for the defendant. No suit for the collection of any tax bill shall be defeated or affected by any irregularity affecting any other bill, or matter rendering any other bill invalid in whole or in part; provided further, that if at any time it is found that there has been any error in the issuance of any tax bills or in any assessment, or in the mode or manner of any assessment, the same shall be corrected and a reassessment made (if necessary to correct the mistake) by the proper officials, and said reassessment shall be as binding and in all respects the same as if no previous assessments had been made or tax bills issued.

544.640 Recognizance forfeited, when.
Status: in_force

544.640. Recognizance forfeited, when. — If, without sufficient cause or excuse, the defendant fails to appear for trial or judgment, or upon any other occasion when his presence in court may be lawfully required, according to the condition of his recognizance, the court must direct the fact to be entered upon its minutes, and thereupon the recognizance is forfeited, and the same shall be proceeded upon by scire facias to final judgment and execution thereon, although the defendant may be afterward arrested on the original charge, unless remitted by the court for cause shown.

(RSMo 1939 § 3973) Prior revisions: 1929 § 3584; 1919 § 3927; 1909 § 5134 (1954) Words "unless remitted by the court for cause shown" relate to the whole of § 544.640 and trial court, while the matter is pending before it, may for cause remit the penalty before final judgment but such remission must be based on proof of extraordinary and unusual circumstances. State v. Salisbury, 364 Mo. 1039, 271 S.W.2d 522. (1961) Where defendant failed to appear on misdemeanor charge at time fixed in his bond, the bond could be forfeited, notwithstanding his attorney appeared and the information in the case was dismissed as being insufficient. State v. Norton (Mo.), 347 S.W.2d 849. (1973) Incarceration of defendant in another state is not circumstance which will discharge his surety as a matter of law. State v. Jones (Mo.), 491 S.W.2d 241. (1974) Only grounds for discharge of a surety on a bail bond are failure to appear because of (1) an act of God, (2) an act of law, (3) an act of an obligee. State owes no duty to have party returned under agreement on detainers in order to avoid forfeiture of bond. State v. Patterson (A.), 508 S.W.2d 304. (1974) Held that release of surety on bond is mandatory where defendant is produced in open court after forfeiture of bond but before a judgment on the forfeiture. Proper venue for action on the bond is in court of county where action commenced, not in county to which action was transferred on change of venue. State v. Street (A.), 510 S.W.2d 225. (1974) Held that court is not required to have either accused or his bondsman called prior to forfeiture of bail. State v. Henderson (A.), 512 S.W.2d 218. (1980) After the police had obtained custody of defendant and a bail bond forfeiture proceeding is subsequently held, the court is not required to release surety from liability. State v. Armstrong (A.), 605 S.W.2d 526.
