Plaintiff-Appellee, Justices
v SC: 136801
COA: 281827
WCAC: 04-000343
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 23, 2008 order
of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
that the question presented should be reviewed by this Court. However, we would note
that the Workers’ Compensation Appellate Commission erred in stating that an employee
does not need to demonstrate a connection between wage loss and the work-related
injury. An employee is indeed required to demonstrate such a connection. See MCL
418.301(4); Sington v Chrysler Corp, 467 Mich 144, 160-161 (2002).
CAVANAGH AND KELLY, JJ., would deny leave to appeal without the further
statement found in the majority’s order.
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.
