1,155 charsIn resolving this case, this Court recognizes "the time-honored principle of separation of powers and the recognition that policy decisions such as [those] presented in this case are within the" province of the General Assembly. Goerlitz v. City of Maryville , 333 S.W.3d 450, 456 (Mo. banc 2011). Regardless of the outcome in this case, the General Assembly could enact legislation codifying the approach taken in this case, i.e., allowing our circuit courts to exercise their sound discretion to impose an in custodia legis procedure on a case-by-case basis. Or it could enact legislation adopting King 'sdicta imposing an in custodia legis procedure in all rent and possession actions when the tenant remains in possession of the premises. This has been the unchallenged and unquestioned process in place for almost five decades and constitutes the status quo in Missouri. Or it could enact legislation adopting the dissenting opinion's approach, which would prohibit an in custodia legis procedure in all cases. In any event, the General Assembly is perfectly capable of enacting laws it perceives reflect sound policy that best serve all Missourians.
