Decisions
- In re Certified Question From the Fourteenth District Court OF Appeals OF Texas (2007). The Michigan Supreme Court answered a certified question from a Texas appeals court in the negative, holding that Ford owed no duty to Carolyn Miller, which favored Ford and went against the Miller plaintiffs' $9.5 million Texas verdict theory.
- Brisboy v. Fibreboard Corp. (1988). The Michigan Supreme Court upheld the denial of Fibreboard's motion for directed verdict, but held the lower courts wrongly disregarded the jury's finding that Rand was 55% negligent, and remanded for judgment with damages apportioned under the jury's verdict.
- Larson v. Johns-Manville Sales Corp. (1986). The Michigan Supreme Court affirmed the dismissal of all four wrongful death suits to the extent they rested on asbestosis, because they were filed too late, but held that the Glazier and Revard cancer claims against the asbestos manufacturers could proceed.
