FORD MOTOR COMPANY and
DANIEL P. BENNETT,
Defendants-Appellants.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the Michigan Manufacturers Association’s motion for leave
to file brief amicus curiae is GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the June 6,
2006 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule
oral argument on whether to grant the application or take other peremptory action. MCR
7.302(G)(1). At oral argument, the parties shall address whether the record submitted to
the trial court creates a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendant Ford was
on notice that Daniel Bennett was allegedly sexually harassing the plaintiff. The parties
may file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order, but they should
avoid submitting a mere restatement of the arguments made in their application papers.
WEAVER, J., concurs and states as follows:
I concur in the order granting oral argument on whether to grant the application for
leave to appeal but would not limit what issues should be briefed or argued.
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.
