Issues:

Whether the policy issued by defendant-QBE Insurance can be voided ab initio; Bazzi v. Sentinel Ins. Co.

Summary

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court vacated the Court of Appeals judgment (see e-Journal # 59343 in the 3/13/15 edition) and remanded the case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration of whether the policy issued by defendant-QBE Insurance can be voided ab initio. The court directed the Court of Appeals to hold this case in abeyance pending the Court of Appeals’ decision in Bazzi, and to reconsider the issue in light of Bazzi. The court denied the application for leave to appeal in all other respects because it was not persuaded that it should consider the remaining question presented.
