Michigan Supreme Court
Decided July 30, 1999No. Docket Nos. 107956, 110707, Calendar Nos. 1, 2PublishedCited by 216 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtYoung, J.
We granted leave to appeal in these consolidated cases to determine whether MCL 600.2169; MSA 27A.2169, which provides strict requirements for the admission of expert testimony in medical malpractice cases brought against specialists, impermissibly infringes this Court’s exclusive authority under Const 1963, art 6, § 5, to promulgate rules governing practice and procedure in Michigan courts. We conclude that § 2169 is an enactment of substantive law. Therefore, we uphold the statute as a valid exercise of the Legislature’s public policy-making prerogative.
