Insurance — bad faith — standing
Patricia Meleski appeals, by our leave, the circuit court’s non-final order dismissing on summary judgment her bad-faith claims against Partners Mutual Insurance Company. See Wis. Stat. § 808.03(2) (appeals of non-final orders). The issue is whether a non-insured may assert bad-faith claims against an insurance company when: (1) the company’s obligation to the non-insured is fixed, and (2) the non-insured contends the company refuses in bad faith to discharge that obligation. We hold that the non-insured may assert those claims, and, accordingly, reverse. Publication in the official reports is recommended.

Attorneys: For Appellant: Davis, Daniel S., Milwaukee; Michaelson-Link, Leah M., Milwaukee; For Respondent: Mingo, Mark J., Milwaukee; Bennett, Brooke, Milwaukee; Jelinski, Drew S., Milwaukee
