Prejudgment Interest Calculations
New How-To Kit
Under MCL 600.6013(8), interest on a money judgment recovered in a civil action is calculated at six-month intervals from the date of filing the complaint at interest rates published by the Michigan Department of Treasury. This new How-To Kit walks you through a spreadsheet that will help you calculate prejudgment interest in your case.
Wrongful-Death Filings
New Legal Update
The Michigan Court of Appeals recently held that the wrongful-death savings provision in MCL 600.5852 extends the filing time frame and tolls the statutory notice period for cases filed against the state or its agencies in the court of claims. This new Legal Update takes you through the court's holding and highlights key points.
