Appellate Decisions Released July 11, 2006

The Wisconsin Supreme Court released these opinions today:

Jackson County v. Department of Nat. Resources (County cannot rescind deed through which it obtained ownership of property in an attempt to foist the property back onto the prior owner).


Wisconsin Mall Properties, LLC v. Younkers, Inc. (condemnation proceedings did not necessarily preclude a landlord's breach of contract claim against tenant).


Kenosha County Department of Human Services v. Jodie W. (A finding of parental unfitness may not be based solely on a condition impossible for the parent to fulfill).


Sonday v. Dave Kohel Agency, Inc. (real estate broker entitled to commission when property was acquired through condemnation by a government agency).


1325 North Van Buren, LLC v. T-3 Group Ltd. (a customized AIA contract to construct a 42-unit condominium complex calls for provision of both materials and services, but predominantly materials, so the economic loss doctrine applies to bar tort claims).


The Wisconsin Court of Appeals released these opinions today, but did not recommend any for publication.
