Missouri courts allow a defendant to re-open a lawsuit and undo a judgment if the defendant made a mistake that caused the judgment to exist. The courts define a mistake as a misunderstanding of the truth, but without negligence, and includes going to the wrong courtroom when the courthouse is under construction.
