Appellate Opinions Released March 21, 2007
The Wisconsin Supreme Court released opinions in the following cases today:
Wamboldt v. Illinois Farmers Ins. Co. The Court clarified how to identify the court document that triggers the time within which to file a notice of appeal, as provided by Wis. Stat. sec. 808.03(1). Beginning on September 1, 2007, the final order or judgment will have "a statement on the face of [it] that it is final for the purpose of appeal. Absent such a statement, appellate courts should liberally construe ambiguities to preserve the right of appeal." And all across the State appellate counsel heave a huge sigh of relief.
Tyler v. The Riverbank (same as Wambolt).
State v. Johnson (suppression of evidence found in a protective search of suspect's vehicle).
The Wisconsin Court of Appeals released these opinions today, but did not recommend either of them for publication.
The Court of Appeals did not certify any questions today.
