ADER v. DELTA COLLEGE BO. OF TRUSTEES

Supreme Court of Michigan

488 Mich. 1025 (Mich. 2011)

Opinion

No. 141540.

January 13, 2011.

Court of Appeals No. 290583.


Summary Disposition.

Pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeals and we remand this case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of Lansing Sch Ed Ass'n v. Lansing Ed of Ed, 487 Mich 349 (2010).


Although I recognize that this Court's decision in Lansing Schs Ed Ass'n v. Lansing Bd of Ed, 487 Mich 349 (2010) ( LSEA), now provides the standard that courts should use to determine whether a party to an action has standing, I continue to adhere to the position stated in Justice CORRIGAN'S dissenting opinion in that case that Michigan's standing doctrine is constitutionally based and that LSEA provides no meaningful standard to enforce these constitutional limits whatsoever. Cf. Mich Citizens for Water Conservation v. Nestle Waters North America Inc, 479 Mich 280 (2007); Nat'l Wildlife Federation v. Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co, 471 Mich 608 (2004); and Lee v. Macomb Co Bd of Comm'rs, 464 Mich 726 (2001).

CORRIGAN and MARKMAN, JJ., join the statement of YOUNG, C.J.
