The Michigan Supreme Court issued an order on May 23, 2007, regarding the case of Daniel John Wesche and Beverly Wesche against the Mecosta County Road Commission. The Court granted the motion for miscellaneous relief and permitted an appeal of the Court of Appeals' judgment dated July 5, 2005. The primary legal issue to be addressed is whether the exception to governmental immunity under MCL 691.1405 allows a spouse of a person injured by the negligent operation of a government-owned vehicle to recover damages for loss of consortium. The Court has scheduled this case to be argued alongside Kik v. Sbraccia (Docket No. 132849) when both cases are ready. Additionally, the Attorney General, Michigan Defense Trial Counsel, Inc., and the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association are invited to submit amicus curiae briefs, with other interested parties permitted to seek permission for similar submissions. The order was certified as a true copy by Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Court.
