WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: U.S. Bank National Association v. Patricia Ann Murphy, et al.,
Case No.: 2020AP537
Officials: Fitzpatrick, P.J., Blanchard, and Kloppenburg, JJ.
Focus: Foreclosure – Unclean Hands
Patricia Ann Murphy and Patricia Gaffney, by counsel, appeal a judgment of foreclosure. Murphy and Gaffney argue that the circuit court erred when, following an evidentiary hearing, the court found that they had failed to establish the causation element to satisfy the doctrine of unclean hands, which they asserted as an affirmative defense to foreclosure. We affirm the judgment of the circuit court.
