Karen Carter v. Dtn Management Company

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court held that its COVID-19 administrative orders excluding specified emergency-period days from the computation of filing deadlines were constitutional exercises of its authority over court procedure and its superintending control over Michigan courts. Because the orders affected computation of time rather than substantively tolling the limitations period, Carter's complaint was timely and the trial court improperly granted summary disposition. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
