Rath v. Doerfler

Wisconsin Supreme Court

Decided June 6, 1967PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtHansen, J.

There are three issues in this case:

1. Is there sufficient credible evidence to support a jury verdict that Rath was the procuring cause of the sale to Wieseler?

2. Were the trial court’s instructions to the jury incorrect or insufficient, and if so, would they affect the substantial rights of the defendant?

3. Did the trial court err in denying the defendant’s offer of the entire adverse examination of the plaintiff?

Sufficiency of the Evidence.

The defendant contends that the jury verdict finding that the plaintiff was the procuring cause of the sale to Wieseler is not supported by the evidence.
