WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: Sharon M. Lambrecht v. Bruce Remington, et al.

Case No.: 2018AP1902

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

Focus: Court Error – Settlement Agreement

Sharon Lambrecht, pro se, appeals a judgment that dismissed her lawsuit against Bruce Remington and his daughter, Teresa Hestekin (collectively “Remington”), discharged a lis pendens recorded by Lambrecht, and awarded $10,000 in attorney fees to Remington pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 100.18 (2017-18). Lambrecht argues the circuit court erred by: (1) refusing to enforce the parties’ settlement agreement; (2) refusing to admit the settlement agreement as evidence at trial; and (3) concluding that Lambrecht made a fraudulent representation under § 100.18. Lambrecht argues, in the alternative, that the evidence did not support awarding $10,000 in attorney fees to Remington under § 100.18. For the reasons discussed below, we reject Lambrecht’s arguments and affirm the judgment.
