Description
This is a review of an unpublished decision of the court of appeals filed February 21, 1990 which reversed and remanded an
order of the Circuit Court for Milwaukee County, Judge Victor Manian. The circuit court granted judgment on the jury's verdict
that the plaintiff-respondent-petitioner's (Milwaukee Rescue Mission, Inc.'s) real estate had a fair market value of $2,100,000.
This case is before this court for review and determination pursuant to sec. (Rule) 809.62, Stats. There are three issues in this case: (1) Did the circuit court abuse its discretion when it granted judgment on the jury
verdict, on the ground that the jury verdict was not supported by credible evidence?; (2) Did the circuit court abuse its
discretion by prohibiting one of the defendant-appellant's (Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee's) expert witnesses
from testifying?; and (3) Did the circuit court abuse its discretion by awarding contingent attorney fees of $378,467.15 to
the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, Inc. (Rescue Mission)? We first conclude that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion
in granting judgment on the jury verdict. We conclude that there was credible evidence on the record to support the jury's
finding that the Rescue Mission's property had a fair market value of $2,100,000. Next, we conclude that the circuit court
did not abuse its discretion by prohibiting the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee (Redevelopment Authority)
from presenting the testimony of one of its expert witnesses because this would prejudice the Rescue Mission's case. We finally
conclude that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in awarding contingent attorney fees of $378,467.15 to the Rescue
Mission. The circuit court properly exercised its discretion when it determined that, based on the facts of this case, the
award was reasonable.
