United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit
Mar 28, 1996
94-2016, 94-2070 (6th Cir. Mar. 28, 1996)

Summary

In Olbrys, the Sixth Circuit concluded the Michigan Supreme Court would reject the court of appeals decisions allowing attorney's fees as an element of consequential damages under Michigan's version of the UCC. The circuit based its conclusion on the general rule that fees are not recoverable as an element of damages and that section 440.2715, the Michigan UCC provision on consequential damages, is silent as to fees.
