Universal Processing Services v. Circuit Court of Milwaukee County
Trial court impermissibly delegated judicial power to the referee which is constitutionally vested in the court system. The Wisconsin Constitution provides a judicial system for a resolution of disputes. Used properly, a court may appoint and assign functions to a referee. But in this case, the court’s order impermissibly delegated power to the referee by using the standard of erroneous exercise of discretion.
