Michigan Supreme Court

Sherrie Daniel v. Ann Arbor Transit Authority

December 4, 2020

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court denied the claimant's application for leave to appeal without reviewing the merits. The underlying dispute concerned whether a claimant with a permanent or indefinite medical condition must exhaust available medical leave to avoid disqualification from unemployment benefits. Justice Cavanagh, dissenting, would have granted oral argument to consider whether the statutory medical-leave requirement produces an unreasonable result for claimants unable to return to their former jobs.
