In all condemnation proceedings, except those in instances where special provisions to the contrary are, or may hereafter be, provided for by charters or ordinances of those cities having constitutional charters, the procedure to be followed shall be that provided for by these rules.
Mo. R. Civ. P. 86.01
Committee Note - 1959
The rules relating to condemnation have been redrafted to provide for a single method of condemning property. Therefore there has been a grouping of some provisions from various sections. An attempt has been made to provide a fair procedure for all concerned. Provisions of constitutional charters and ordinances based thereon are not superseded because of the doubtful legality of action annulling constitutional charter provisions. Cities with Constitutional Charters may be subject to this Rule 86, by express adoption thereof or by the absence of special contrary provisions.
