Wisconsin Supreme Court

Decided April 15, 1948PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtWickhem, J.

It hardly needs to be said that the order appealed from is highly discretionary and that.it must clearly appear that there was an abuse of judicial discretion before it can be reversed. Fontaine v. Fontaine, 205 Wis. 570, 238 N. W. 410; Jolitz v. Fintch, 229 Wis. 256, 282 N. W. 87. Ordinarily such an order will be reversed only where the trial court discloses that its action was based upon an erroneous view of the law, Crombie v. Powers, 200 Wis. 299, 227 N. W. 278, or where a verdict should have been directed for the party who prevailed with the jury. Lange v. Olson, 185 Wis. 657, 202 N. W.…
