Stoughton Trailers, Inc. v. Labor and Industry Review Commission, 2007 WI 105

This case was among those released July 17, 2007. Justice Louis Butler, in the majority opinion [58 pp. pdf], says in footnote 3
The dissent chides this court for "abdicat[ing] its role as the state's ultimate policy making court," and later for "adding insult to injury" by deciding this case on the grounds that are presented by the facts. Dissent, ¶¶ 76, 78. In essence, the dissent faults this court for exercising judicial restraint.
