WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: AA Auto Rental Inc., v. Flying AJ’s Towing Company LLC, et al.
Case No.: 2017AP1824
Officials: BRASH, J.
Focus: Vehicle Liens – Statutory Notice
Flying AJ’s Towing Company, LLC appeals from a judgment in favor of AA Auto Rental, Inc. in the amount of $1700.00, plus costs. This judgment stems from a small claims action that arose after Flying AJ’s towed a vehicle owned by AA Auto Rental. The primary issue was whether Flying AJ’s had provided the proper notice to AA Auto Rental that the vehicle had been towed, in accordance with WIS. STAT. § 779.415, the statute that regulates vehicle liens placed by towing services. The trial court found that Flying AJ’s had failed to properly provide that statutory notice. We agree and affirm.
