Summary

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court vacated the Court of Appeals judgment (see e-Journal # 79718 in the 7/11/23 edition) to the extent it was inconsistent with the court’s decision in Posey. It remanded the case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of Posey. The court denied leave to appeal in all other respects because it was not persuaded that it should review the remaining question presented.
