WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Paul Halderson et al, v. Star Blends, LLC, et al.
Case No.: 2015AP739
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Practice Area: Breach of Contract – Breach of Warranty
Paul Halderson, Lyn Halderson, and Arctic Farms, LLC, (collectively, the Haldersons) appeal a judgment dismissing their breach of contract and breach of warranty claims against Star Blends, LLC. Northern States Power Company, d/b/a Xcel Energy Services, Inc., also appeals, arguing the circuit court erred by dismissing its cross-claims against Star Blends for contribution and indemnification. We conclude the circuit court properly dismissed Northern States’ cross-claims against Star Blends, but it erred by dismissing the Haldersons’ breach of contract and breach of warranty claims. Accordingly, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
