Rory v. Continental Insurance
Michigan Supreme Court
1DissentCavanagh, J.
As the majority accurately observes, this Court is faced with a choice today. See ante at 488. This Court could continue to acknowledge the unique character of insurance agreements and follow well-reasoned precedent examining contractually shortened limitations periods for reasonableness. Or this Court could disregard the manner in which insurance agreements come into existence and abrogate the “reasonableness doctrine.” Because the majority makes the wrong choice, I must respectfully dissent from today’s decision and concur in the result reached by Justice Kelly’s dissent.
