The unlawful detainer statute is an exclusive and special code to which ordinary rules and proceedings of other civil actions do not apply. The sole issue is the immediate right of possession ... It is generally held that counterclaims are also prohibited in unlawful detainer proceedings, regardless of the subject matter, unless permitted by statute. Missouri statutes do not so permit. (Citations omitted). Point denied. Judgment affirmed as modified. CRANDALL and GRIMM, JJ., concur.
