Torts — accounting malpractice — statute of repose

Gene Osowski, as personal representative of the Estate of Wanda Osowski, appeals a summary judgment dismissing Wanda’s professional negligence, misrepresentation, and conspiracy claims against her former accountant, Don Howard, and his firm, Krause Howard & Co., S.C. We conclude summary judgment was proper because Wanda’s claims are barred by the six-year statute of repose for claims arising out of professional accounting services. See Wis. Stat. § 893.66(1). We therefore affirm. This opinion will not be published.
