Ayar v. Foodland Distributors

At issue in this case is when interest begins to accrue, pursuant to MCL 600.6013(8), on costs and attorney fees imposed for rejecting a mediation evaluation, MCR 2.403(O)(l), (6).1 The clear language of this statute indicates that it accrues from the date of the filing of the complaint. The Court of Appeals, in reversing the order of the trial court, incorrectly concluded that accrual did not begin on that date. This was error, and accordingly, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), we reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals2 and reinstate the order of the circuit court.
