Appellate Opinions Released June 12, 2007

The Wisconsin Supreme Court released the following opinions today:

County of Milwaukee v. Williams (ordinance prohibiting pre-arranged taxi service at General Mitchell International Airport conflicted with state statute and so is invalid).

County of Milwaukee v. Hegney (same as Williams).

K&S Tool & Die Corp. v. Perfection Machinery Sales, Inc. (whether a corporation is a "member of the public" for purposes of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (sec. 100.18) is a question of fact for the jury).

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

Canadian National Railroad v. State of Wisconsin (Department of Transportation is not an "independent going concern" and is therefore entitled to sovereign immunity).
