Supreme Court to Consider Scope of Highway Defect Exception

In Yono v. MDOT, Supreme Court Case No. 146603, a case in which I submitted an amicus curiae brief for Macomb County Department of Roads, Oakland County Road Commission and Wayne County in support of the state’s application for leave to appeal, the Supreme Court granted oral argument on the application and invited additional briefing.  Read my previous posts about this case here, where I originally addressed the Court of Appeals opinion and predicted it would be subject to further review:

Here is my amicus brief supporting the state’s application to the Supreme Court:

I will be submitting a supplemental amicus brief per the Court’s grant order.
