The Michigan Supreme Court has granted an application for leave to appeal the judgment of the Court of Appeals dated March 19, 2019, in the case involving Skanska USA Building, Inc. as the plaintiff-appellant against M.A.P. Mechanical Contractors, Inc., Amerisure Insurance Company, and Amerisure Mutual Insurance Company as defendants-appellees. The Court will consider two key issues: 

1. The validity of the definition of “occurrence” established in Hawkeye-Security Ins Co v Vector Construction Co, 185 Mich App 369 (1990) in relation to the commercial general liability policy in question.
2. Whether the plaintiff has demonstrated a genuine issue of material fact regarding the existence of an “occurrence” under the terms of that policy.

Each party is allotted 20 minutes for oral argument. Additionally, several associations and construction companies have been invited to submit amicus curiae briefs, and other interested parties may also seek permission to file such briefs. The Clerk of the Court, Larry S. Royster, certifies this order as a true and complete copy entered at the Court's direction.
