Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an integral part of our daily lives, whether we realize it or not. Despite ongoing speculation about AI having the capacity to replace us all, we assure you it does not.

Case evaluation sanctions are available when a non-dispositive motion leads to judgment

May 27, 2014

Hiro Adachi

The Michigan Supreme Court has held that a party can be held liable for case evaluation sanctions when a court enters judgment based on a non-dispositive motion. In Acorn Investment Co. v.

Court order promotes transparency in bankruptcy claims filed by asbestos plaintiffs

May 23, 2014

Hiro Adachi

Earlier this month, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge George R. Hodges entered an order in the Garlock Sealing Technologies case that should provide greater transparency into bankruptcy claim practices in asbestos lawsuits. The order should also assist defendants in asbestos cases to better estimate their liability in future cases and develop new strategies for defense. On May…

Natatorium Law

May 2, 2014

Hiro Adachi

Well, not exactly natatorium law. But the indoor swimming pool at the Sherman Lake YMCA completed in 1999 now has four published contractual indemnity appellate opinions to its credit and threatens to become a legal subspecialty. In 2009, the Court of Appeals held the lawsuit was time-barred based on application of the statute of repose…

A plaintiff who hasn’t read the insurance policy is barred from pursuing a misrepresentation claim

May 2, 2014

Hiro Adachi

For the average homeowner, an insurance policy may not be the most thrilling reading. But it shouldn’t be ignored altogether in favor of relying on the promises of an insurance agent. If those promises turn out to be different than what’s contained in the policy, the policy governs – and a claim of fraud or…

Sixth Circuit holds that notice to a creditor’s former attorney doesn’t comport with due process

March 28, 2014

Hiro Adachi

Bankruptcy rules require debtors to give the names and addresses of their creditors so that the creditors can receive notice of the bankruptcy proceedings. Some creditors may have obtained a civil court judgment against the debtor. And often those judgment creditors were represented by an attorney in the case that led to the judgment. In…

The attorney-client privilege can come with a price

March 28, 2014

Hiro Adachi

The attorney-client privilege is one of the oldest and most revered evidentiary privileges in our legal system. But as the Michigan Court of Appeals recently held in Odeh v Auto Club Insurance Association, assertion of this privilege is not always without cost. The plaintiff in Odeh was in a car accident in 1998 and sustained…

Garlock’s asbestos liability and the problem of bankruptcy claim form discovery

March 28, 2014

Hiro Adachi

On January 10, 2014, Judge Hodges of the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Western District of North Carolina issued an Order Estimating Aggregate Liability in the Garlock Sealing Technologies bankruptcy. The issue before the court was Garlock’s liability for present and future mesothelioma claims. Representatives for asbestos claimants asked the court to set aside…

Integration clauses and collateral matters

March 18, 2014

Hiro Adachi

Integration clauses in contracts for the sale of property are not always a guarantee against later claims of fraud, as shown by the Court of Appeals’ recent opinion in Jenson v. William B. Gallagher Revocable Trust. The Jensons purchased real estate near Dewey Lake in Silver Creek Township, Michigan. They claimed that, while viewing the…

Michigan Court of Appeals rejects slip-and-fall claim based on speculative theory

March 7, 2014

Hiro Adachi

The open and obvious doctrine is straightforward: plaintiffs cannot recover for injuries from hazards that a reasonable person could have seen, unless those hazards were unavoidable or especially dangerous. This logic undermines most slip-and-fall claims based on snow and ice. As the Michigan Supreme Court put it (perhaps somewhat sarcastically) inHoffner v. Lanctoe, “Michigan, being…
