01-3204 Wanta v. Mueller, et al.

By: dmc-admin//August 19, 2002//

Listen to this article

Frederic and Beth Mueller appeal a summary judgment dismissing their third-party intentional and strict responsibility misrepresentation claims against Williams Realty, Inc., and their punitive damages claim against Richard and Carol Wanta. The Muellers argue that there are genuine issues of material fact entitling them to a trial on both claims. We conclude that there are genuine issues of material fact on the misrepresentation claims. Therefore, we reverse the summary judgment in favor of Williams Realty. However, we conclude that the circuit court properly denied the Muellers’ punitive damages claim against the Wantas.

Therefore, we affirm the portion of the summary judgment dismissing the punitive damages claim.

This opinion will not be published.
