The Michigan Supreme Court has granted applications for leave to appeal from the Court of Appeals' October 18, 2011 judgment regarding two cases involving Farmers Insurance Exchange and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company against Michigan Insurance Company. The appeal is limited to examining whether the “primary purpose, incidental nature” test for determining a commercial vehicle's use in transporting passengers aligns with MCL 500.3114(2), and if this test was properly applied to the case facts. The court has invited the Insurance Institute of Michigan and the Insurance and Indemnity Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan to submit amicus curiae briefs. Other interested parties may request permission to file amicus curiae briefs as well.
