WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: James Swiderski v. Alexander Trasnport Inc., et al

Case No.: 2015AP378

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Court Error – Judgment

Swiderski Equipment, Inc. (SEI) appeals a judgment awarding Alexander Transport, Inc., $774,397.38 for breaches of various oral contracts. SEI argues: (1) the court erred when it granted a directed verdict to James Swiderski, who is Alexander Transport’s president and sole shareholder, on SEI’s contention that James breached his fiduciary duty to SEI; (2) the oral contracts were not enforceable because they violated the statute of frauds; and (3) the contracts were too vague to be enforced. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment.
