The Honorable, The Senate:
As required in Sections
227.485(9) and
814.245(10) of the Wis. Stats., I am submitting the report concerning decisions and resulting payments of attorney fees and related legal costs. Attorney fees and other legal costs are to be paid whenever the opposing party to an agency's Chapter
227 hearing prevails and it is determined the agency's position was not substantially justified. Payments for SFY 2000 are shown on the attached schedule.
In addition, the Department is required to report any awards granted to the Department regarding frivolous motions brought against this Department. If the hearing examiner determines that the motion of the opposing party in any Chapter
227 contested case is frivolous, the examiner may award the state agency all reasonable costs in responding to the motion. In SFY 2000, no motions of opposing parties were found to be frivolous. Consequently, the Department has no awards to report.
Sincerely,
Joe Leean
Secretary
