WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: Dale Sanders, et al. v. Eleanor P. Hertel
Case No.: 2018AP265
Officials: Sherman, Blanchard and Kloppenburg, JJ.
Focus: Breach of Contract – Misrepresentation
Wendy Sanders and Dale Sanders purchased a home from Eleanor Hertel and then sued Hertel for breach of contract and misrepresentation, claiming that Hertel was aware of, but failed to properly disclose, certain defects of the home in the seller’s Real Estate Condition Report. In order to prevail on each of these claims, the Sanderses must prove that they reasonably relied on Hertel’s representations in the Report. The circuit court dismissed the Sanderses’ claims on summary judgment. The Sanderses, pro se, appeal. We affirm.
