Plaintiffs-Appellants,
v SC: 127715
COA: 255359
Oakland CC: 03-046760-CZ
CITY OF NOVI,
Defendant-Appellee.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion for extension of time is GRANTED. The
motion for review of taxation of costs pursuant to MCR 7.318 and MCR 7.219(E) is
DENIED because taxation of the plaintiffs’ costs in this case was appropriate. See MCL
600.2445(2). We further conclude that the defendant’s motion for review of taxation of
costs constitutes a vexatious proceeding under MCR 7.316(D)(1), and we ORDER the
defendant to pay to the plaintiffs their actual damages attributable to responding to the
motion in this Court. We REMAND this case to the Oakland Circuit Court for
calculation of the amount of damages and entry of an appropriate order.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
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.
