GREGORY T. RIVARD,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 15, 2009
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
address whether the Court of Appeals correctly held that: (1) MCL 600.5078(1) and (3)
contemplate no more than two arbitration awards (the initial written award and any
modified award following a motion to correct errors and omissions); (2) MCL
600.5078(3) does not permit the filing of more than one motion to correct errors and
omissions; and (3) the defendant’s motion to vacate the December 7, 2007 award was
untimely.
The Family Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan and the Michigan Chapter
of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers are invited to file briefs amicus
curiae. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in
this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
