ORDER
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 28, 2021 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on the application. MCR 7.305(H)(1). The parties shall address: (1) whether the owner's liability provision of the Motor Vehicle Code, MCL 257.401(1), irreconcilably conflicts with the Recreational Use Act, MCL 324.73301(1), as to the appellee's liability for the decedent's injury; (2) whether the pertinent inquiry in resolving the apparent statutory conflict in this case is to determine which provision is more specific; and (3) if so, what is the appropriate framework for determining which provision is more specific?
The Michigan Association for Justice, the Michigan Defense Trial Counsel, Inc., and the Negligence Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan 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.
