Terms Used In Wisconsin Statutes 809.13

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Person: includes all partnerships, associations and bodies politic or corporate. See Wisconsin Statutes 990.01

A person who is not a party to an appeal may file in the court of appeals a petition to intervene in the appeal. A party may file a response to the petition within 11 days after service of the petition. The court may grant the petition upon a showing that the petitioner’s interest meets the requirements of s. 803.09 (1), (2), or (2m).
