Contracts – breach – ambiguity — extrinsic evidence

Wisconsin Court of Appeals

Civil

Contracts – breach – ambiguity — extrinsic evidence

David Bowe appeals from a small claims judgment in favor of Seefeldt Construction. Pursuant to the judgment, Bowe is to pay a total of $2,205.64 to Seefeldt including $1,106.64 in accrued interest and approximately $1100 in attorney fees and costs. Bowe contends that the trial court erred when it failed to credit him for a $1,000 down payment made under the terms of the contract. Bowe further argues that, when the $1,000 down payment is credited, he owes no interest and therefore, no attorney fees. We reject Bowe’s contentions. We affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
