Wis JI-Civil 1740
Damages: Common Scheme or Plan; Concerted Action (Wis. Stat. § 895.045(2))
Question _____ asks whether the defendants engaged in concerted action?
Parties engage in concerted action when they pursue a common scheme or plan to
accomplish a result that injures the plaintiff. Parties engaged in concerted action do not have
to intend that plaintiff be injured.
Parties engage in concerted action if you determine that the following three elements
existed:
1. there was an explicit or tacit agreement to act in accordance with a mutually
agreed upon scheme or plan. The agreement need not be expressed in words,
but it may be implied and understood to exist from the conduct itself; and
2. mutual acts were committed in furtherance of the common scheme or plan that
were negligent or intentional; and
3. the acts undertaken to accomplish the common scheme or plan were the acts
that resulted in damages.
