Carr v. General Motors Corp.
Michigan Supreme Court
Decided July 8, 1986No. 74825, (Calendar No. 7)PublishedCited by 69 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtBoyle, J.
The question presented to the Court in this case is whether a disability that is related to one’s ability to perform the duties of a particular position is a "handicap” within the meaning of the Handicappers’ Civil Rights Act (hcra), MCL 37.1101 et seq.; MSA 3.550(101) et seq. For the reasons which follow, we find that the clear legislative intent was that only those whose disability is unrelated to ability to perform the job be covered by the hcra, and we therefore reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals and reinstate the trial court grant of summary judgment.
