WTMJ, Inc. v. Sullivan

This is an open records case. The State of Wisconsin appeals from a judgment awarding attorneys' fees to WTMJ. It also appeals from an order declining to reconsider that judgment. WTMJ cross-appeals from the order because the circuit court refused to require attorneys' fees paid for the motion for reconsideration. We conclude that the trial court reasonably found that WTMJ substantially prevailed in this case. WTMJ is therefore entitled to its attorneys' fees for both the judgment and the order. We therefore affirm the judgment and reverse the order.
