WI Court of Appeals – IV
Case Name: Revolution Processing Solutions, Inc.
Case No.: 2016AP612
Officials: Kloppenburg, P.J., Lundsten and Blanchard, JJ.
Focus: Court Errors
Collins Financial, LLC, and its sole owner, Nicholas Collins (collectively the “Collins defendants”), appeal a circuit court judgment in favor of Revolution Processing Solutions, Inc. The parties’ dispute arises out of a contract between Collins Financial and Revolution Processing. The Collins defendants argue that the circuit court erred by (1) relying on extrinsic evidence to construe unambiguous contract language, (2) holding Nicholas Collins personally liable for damages, (3) awarding punitive damages against Nicholas Collins, (4) violating the election of remedies doctrine, (5) awarding duplicate damages, (6) declaring that the judgment was non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, and (7) ordering the surrender of funds that belonged to Collins Financial. For the reasons below, we affirm.
