Remedies — harassment injunctions

Wis. Stat. sec. 813.125 can extend injunctive protection to institutions as well as natural persons.

“We hold that Wis. Stat. § 813.125 can extend injunctive protection to institutions as well as natural persons. We further hold that the circuit court’s decision to grant a harassment injunction was a proper exercise of its discretion, and sufficient evidence existed for the court to find that Decker’s conduct constituted harassment and lacked a legitimate purpose. However, because the parties agree the injunction was overbroad, we remand to the circuit court to further clarify the scope of the injunction. For these reasons, the decision of the court of appeals is reversed, and the cause is remanded to the circuit court.”

Reversed and Remanded.
