WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative v. John F. Hoffman

Case No.: 2015AP1071

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Contract Enforceability

John Hoffman, pro se, appeals a money judgment of $18,823.48 entered against him in favor of Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative (CWEC). Hoffman argues the contract he signed with CWEC that formed the basis for the judgment is unenforceable because it is unconscionable and was the result of CWEC’s fraudulent conduct. In addition, he argues the circuit court erred in concluding he was negligent, he unlawfully interfered with CWEC’s prescriptive easement, and in dismissing his breach of contract counterclaim. We reject Hoffman’s arguments and affirm the judgment.
