Owners of the salon -- called The Spa -- filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit in July 2008 against the Board of Curators for the four-campus University of Missouri system.
The Columbia Missourian reported that Boone County Circuit Judge Kevin Crane ruled this past week that the earliest the university can terminate its lease is Dec. 31, 2010.
In his decision, he also wrote that the university will not have to pay compensation for lost profits and improvements of the leased space.
