Baker v. Northwestern National Casualty Co.
Wisconsin Supreme Court
Decided December 20, 1963PublishedCited by 21 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtCurRIe, J.
Northwestern concedes that there are disputed questions of fact but contends that these are immaterial because Northwestern is entitled to-summary judgment as a matter of law. It asserts that, even though the disputed facts be decided in Baker’s favor, they would establish only negligence on Northwestern’s part, not bad faith, and that Northwestern’s liability can only be predicated upon bad faith. Berk v. Milwaukee Automobile Ins. Co. (1944), 245 Wis. 597, 15 N. W. (2d) 834, and Maroney v. Allstate Ins. Co. (1961), 12 Wis. (2d) 197, 107 N. W. (2d) 261, are cited as supporting authority.
