Chapter 425. Consumer transactions — remedies and penalties.
425.113 Body attachments.
Universal Citation: WI Stat § 425.113 (2020)
425.113 Body attachments.
(1) No merchant shall cause or permit a warrant against the person of a customer to issue under ch. 816 with respect to a claim arising from a consumer credit transaction. Any process issued in violation of this section is void.
(2) A violation of this section is subject to s. 425.305.
History: 1971 c. 239; Sup. Ct. Order, 67 Wis. 2d 585, 776 (1975).
If s. 425.113 were to be interpreted to remove a court's power to issue a body attachment for one who chooses to ignore its orders, the interpretation would cause the statute to be unconstitutional as a violation of the principle of separation of powers. Smith v. Burns, 65 Wis. 2d 638, 223 N.W.2d 562 (1974).
