Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit May 5, 1987, 86-2322 (Anthony E. Johnson and Melissa Johnson v. Deltadynamics, Inc.)

POSNER, Circuit Judge.

We are asked to interpret the phrase “foreign cause of action” in a Wisconsin statute that provides that if a suit is brought in a Wisconsin court “on a foreign cause of action and the foreign period of limitation which applies has expired, no action may be maintained in this state.” Wis. Stat. § 893.07(2).
