Michigan Supreme Court

Melissa Mays v. Governor Rick Snyder

July 29, 2020

Summary

The Court expressly affirmed the Court of Appeals on plaintiffs’ inverse-condemnation claim, holding that the pleadings sufficiently alleged property damage, governmental actions directed at plaintiffs’ property, and a unique injury. The Court also affirmed by equal division the rulings that factual questions remained concerning statutory notice and that plaintiffs adequately pleaded a substantive-due-process bodily-integrity claim, including a potentially available damages remedy. The case was remanded for further proceedings because discovery was incomplete and factual questions remained regarding accrual and injury.
