WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Gretchen Paape, et al v. Al Grefsheim, et al
Case No.: 2016AP515-FT
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Attorney Fees
Al and Linda Grefsheim, d/b/a Bay View Resort, appeal that part of a judgment awarding Gretchen and Richard Paape $9,365.23 in attorney fees. The Grefsheims argue the circuit court erred by awarding reasonable attorney fees under WIS. STAT. § 814.045, rather than the limited fees available under WIS. STAT. § 814.04(1). We agree. Therefore, we reverse that part of the judgment and remand the matter to the circuit court with directions to award $300 in attorney fees consistent with § 814.04(1).
