469 Mich. 898 (Mich. 2003)

Summary

In Mitan v New World Television, Inc., 469 Mich 898 (2003), this Court reversed an unpublished Court of Appeals decision following Carson, but we limited our order to the circumstances of that case, where the plaintiffs "requested the appointment of a special master to make recommendations on discovery issues," and failed to "raise[] issues regarding the appropriateness of that procedure in the circuit court," yet raised several claims of error regarding the appointment of the special master in the Court of Appeals.

Opinion

No. 122829.

September 18, 2003.


Summary Disposition.

No. 122829. In lieu of granting leave to appeal, the judgment of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the case is remanded to that Court for consideration of the issues that it did not reach in its earlier decision. MCR 7.302(G)(1). In the circumstances of this case, with the plaintiffs having requested the appointment of a special master to make recommendations on discovery issues, and having failed to have raised issues regarding the appropriateness of that procedure in the circuit court, it was improper for the Court of Appeals to reverse the judgment of the circuit court. Vannoy v. City of Warren, 386 Mich 686, 689-690 (1972); Sampeer v. Boschma, 369 Mich 261, 265-266 (1963). Court of Appeals No. 225530.
