Joyce VETRONE, Plaintiff–Respondent, v. COOPERATIVE CARE, a Wisconsin cooperative, Defendant–Appellant.
U.S. Oil Co., Inc. v. Midwest Auto Care Servs., Inc., 150 Wis.2d 80, 89, 440 N.W.2d 825 (Ct.App.1989) (emphasis added). Vetrone has not asserted that she either acted or forbore to act based upon the existence of the policy. There are no facts from which it could be inferred that she decided to retire, for example, in reliance upon the expectation that she would receive the five annual payments. If Vetrone offers this letter as evidence of justifiable reliance, then her reliance on this as evidence of action or forbearance is misplaced, as the letter was written and sent after her retirement, as is clear from its terms.
