Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel contends that the state’s Supreme Court tore a huge loophole in the middle of the Michigan Consumer Protection Act more than 25 years ago.
On Wednesday morning, attorneys for her office made the case for closing it.
Decisions handed down by the Michigan Supreme Court in 1999 and 2007, “rewrote the [consumer protection] act’s primary exemption to sweep out of its protective coverage purchases for groceries, automobiles, home improvements, prescription medications and a broad range of other things,” Assistant Attorney General Darrin Fowler told the court.
