Michigan Supreme Court

Bryan Punturo v. Brace Kern

December 11, 2020

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court denied the petition for leave to appeal the Court of Appeals' affirmation of the trial court's denial of summary disposition in a defamation action. The Court said it was not persuaded that the questions presented warranted Supreme Court review. Concurring and dissenting opinions discussed the scope of the fair‑reporting privilege but did not affect the denial.
