FINE, J.
¶ 25. {concurring). I agree with the Majority's result and most of its opinion. In my view, the clear language of the statute, which the Majority quotes in ¶ 11, governs. Frisch v. Henrichs, 2007 WI 102, 304 Wis. 2d 1, 736 N.W.2d 85, as the Majority also notes in passing before its discussion in ¶ 19 n.6, of whether it should be applied retroactively, changed nothing. Under Wis. Stat. § 785.04(l)(a)'s forthright and unambiguous directive, the plaintiffs are entitled to be compensated for the losses and injuries they suffered as a result of Milwaukee's clear and blatant contempt.
