Corbin v. Meemic et al
BY RAED LOUAY ABBOO, ESQUIRE - A PRECEDENT SETTING RULE IN PUBLISHED MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS OPINION
With that in mind, we hold that the trial court needed to look beyond the order of filiation to determine plaintiff’s actual domicile, as the order of filiation was not dispositive. To do so, the trial court should have reverted to the traditional multifactored analyses from Workman v Detroit Auto Inter-Insurance Exch, 404 Mich 477; 274 NW2d 373 (1979), and Dairyland Ins Co v Auto Owners Ins Co, 123 Mich App 675; 333 NW2d 322 (1983), to determine plaintiff’s domicile. See Grange, 494 Mich at 497 n 41 (“The Workman-Dairyland multifactored framework comprises the one now commonly employed by Michigan courts when a question of fact exists as to where a person is domiciled.”).
