Summary

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court reversed Part III of the Court of Appeals judgment (see e-Journal # 75489 in the 6/4/21 edition), as to defendant-MAIPF’s summary disposition motion, and remanded to the Court of Appeals to address the merits of plaintiff’s claim that the trial court erred in granting that motion. It held that the Court of Appeals erred in ruling that plaintiff waived this issue. The court denied leave to appeal in all other respects because it was not persuaded that it should review the remaining question presented.
