The Court of Appeals emphasized an important corollary; a trial court is obligated to grant summary disposition when there is no genuine issue of material facts. In this case, there is no such issue, given the amount of photographic and video footage of the incident, no reasonable juror could find that the bus driver was more at fault than the plaintiff. 

The trial court erred in failing to grant partial summary disposition on the issue of the 2019 amendments to the No-Fault Act, the Court of Appeals reversed.

The Michigan Supreme Court’s recent decisions in previous cases operates retroactively and applies to all cases currently pending on direct appeal.

The Supreme Court, after granting leave and taking full briefing and arguments in Black v Shafer, reversed the COA and reinstated the order granting Summary Disposition.
