The Michigan Court of Appeals reviews what constitutes a "protected activity" under the Whistle-Blowers' Protection Act

In Cadwell v City of Highland Park, an unpublished opinion, the Michigan Court of Appeals explained that the state's Whistle-Blowers' Protection Act does not require a protected employee to personally make a report to receive the Act's protection; for example, "a person acting on behalf of the employee" can make the report under MCL 15.362 and that report may apply to the employee's case. No. 318430, 2015 WL 3448616 (Mich Ct App May 28, 2015). The Court highlighted that this is directly provided for in the statutory language of MCL 15.362.
