Orders Granting Oral Argument in Cases Pending on Application for Leave to Appeal January 19, 2007.
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 an injured motorcyclist may recover personal protection insurance benefits from the no-fault insurer of an owner of the vehicle involved in the accident but not listed in the owner's policy, pursuant to MCL 500.3114(5)(a), and whether such a recovery is proper when the owner's no-fault policy does not in terms afford such coverage or purports to exclude it. The parties may file supplemental briefs within 49 days of the date of this order, but they should avoid submitting mere restatements of the arguments made in their application papers. The Michigan Trial Lawyers Association, Michigan Defense Trial Counsel, Inc., the Insurance Institute of Michigan, and the Michigan Assigned Claims Facility (organized pursuant to MCL 500.3171 et seq.) 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.
