Peterson finds in favor of the farm equipment retailer in a lawsuit it filed asking for an injunction to block the tractor manufacturer from terminating the retailer's dealership agreement due to lagging sales in its Wisconsin market share. The retailer has shown a likelihood of success on the merits under Wisconsin's Fair Dealership Law and potential irreparable harm to its business if the dealership agreement is terminated while the lawsuit is pending, so it is entitled to a preliminary injunction. The manufacturer is enjoined from terminating the agreement, but the parties will be given until April 26, 2024, to submit briefs making arguments for the proper amount of bond the retailer should put up to secure the injunction, in part because the manufacturer's ask for a $2.4 million bond is based on projected losses that are not credible.
