Appellate Opinions Released March 27, 2007

The Wisconsin Supreme Court released its opinion in Pool v. City of Sheboygan today. The Court held that a city's notice of disallowance of a claim must be served on the claimant by registered or certified mail -- service was deficient when the notice was received by the claimant's adult daughter.

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals released these opinions today, recommending the following for publication:

State v. One 2000 Lincoln Navigator (the failure to hold a hearing on a forfeiture petition within 60 days requires dismissal with, rather than without, prejudice).

Dettwiler v. Wisconsin Department of Revenue (gambling losses are not a "recovery of federal itemized deductions," and therefore may not be deducted from gambling winnings).

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals did not certify any questions today.
