Nonapplicability
Known as the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law
The act spans §§ 135–135 (11 sections).
Applied in 3 court decisions — leading case Al Bishop Agency, Inc. v. Lithonia-Division of National Service Industries, Inc. (1979)
Most recently applied in Astleford Equipment Co. v. Navistar International Transportation Corp. (July 2001)
1973 c. 179; 1975 c. 371; 1999 a. 31
Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(2) To the insurance business.
