Williams v. Fiedlar (1970), 22 Mich. App. 179.

T.M. KAVANAGH, C.J., and ADAMS, T.E. BRENNAN, T.G. KAVANAGH, SWAINSON, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concurred.


When the appellant's application for leave to review came to determination September 22, 1970 ( 384 Mich. 753), I did not participate in the decision, it having been my precedently submitted view that the application should be held in abeyance pending decision of Taylor v. Walter, which last was decided October 6, 1970 ( 384 Mich. 114) and ordered reheard with result shown in 385 Mich. 599.

In view of the events listed above I concur in the Court's determination that leave to review here was improvidently granted. However, I do not wish to be understood as agreeing with the entire opinion of Division 2 ( 22 Mich. App. 179). See Great Lakes Realty Corporation v. Peters (1953), 336 Mich. 325, 328, 329.
