In two recent cases the Michigan Supreme Court and the Michigan Court of Appeals, respectively, have held that a Notice of Intent for the Court of Claims must be personally signed by the plaintiff -- as opposed to the plaintiff's attorney signing for the plaintiff on the plaintiff's behalf. See Fairley v Dept of Corr, No. 149722, 2015 WL 3539731 (Mich June 5, 2015); Glenn v Dept of Corr, No. 321114, 2015 WL 4255805 (Mich Ct App July 14, 2015). Per the Courts' instruction in the two aforementioned cases, non-compliance with this standard can result in summary disposition of a case due to the plaintiff's failure to properly file a Notice of Intent pursuant to MCL 600.6431.
