Wisconsin Code § 403.119

Notice of right to defend action
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
In an action for
breach of an obligation for which a 3rd person is answerable over
under this chapter or ch. 404, the defendant may give the 3rd person written notice of the litigation, and the person notified may
then give similar notice to any other person who is answerable
over. If the notice states that the person notified may come in and
defend and that failure to do so will bind the person notified in an
action later brought by the person giving the notice as to any determination of fact common to the 2 litigations, the person notified is so bound unless after seasonable receipt of the notice the
person notified does come in and defend.
