Michigan courts have liberally interpreted this provision to hold that "defects in the manner of service generally are not a basis for dismissing a defendant." Nasser v. Abi-Abdallah, No. 328755, 2017 WL 603580 at *3 (Mich. Ct. App. Feb. 14, 2017.) This liberal interpretation animates the ultimate purpose of service: "Service-of-process rules are intended to satisfy the due process requirement that a defendant be informed of the pendency of an action by the best means available, by methods reasonably calculated to give a defendant actual notice of the proceeding and an opportunity to be heard and to present objections or defenses."
