To the Honorable, the Assembly:
Section
227.485 (9) of the Wis. Stats. requires the Department to submit a 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. No payments were made during SFY 2003.
In addition, under 814.245 (10) of the Wis. Stats., the Department is required to report any awards granted to the Department regarding frivolous motions brought against this Department. In SFY 2003, no motions of apposing parties were found to be frivolous. Consequently, the Department has no awards to report.
Sincerely,
Helene Nelson
