Lawrence v. MacIntyre
Wisconsin Supreme Court
Decided November 3, 1970No. 193, 194PublishedCited by 20 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtHeffernan, J.
It should be noted at the outset that the Franks have appealed from the order dismissing the plaintiff’s complaint, an order in their favor. They are not parties “aggrieved,” as set forth in sec. 274.10, Stats. In Estate of Bryngelson (1941), 237 Wis. 7, 11, 296 N. W. 63, this court stated, “We think it elementary that a party may not appeal from a judgment in his favor.” The erroneously brought appeal is dismissed.
The case of Lawrence v. MacIntyre had been pending for more than five years from its commencement when it was dismissed by Acting Circuit Judge Charles E. Kading.
