Navine v. Peltier
Wisconsin Supreme Court
Decided November 3, 1970No. 220PublishedCited by 18 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtBeilfuss, J.
The issue presented on this appeal is whether the actions of the parties constituted a novation whereby Thomas Peltier and his wife were relieved of liability on the promissory note dated May 26, 1965.
It is clearly established that the Peltiers and the Hal-lorans were joint obligors on a promissory note to the respondents and that the note had not been paid. However, appellants-Peltiers contend that they were relieved of their obligation to the Navines by virtue of a novation by which the Hallorans became solely liable on the note.
