Attorney General v. Eli Lilly and Company

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court held that the Attorney General had adequately pleaded a request for declaratory relief and that a live controversy existed, allowing the Court to address the applicability of the MCPA exemption. It overruled the precedential decisions in Smith v Globe Life and Liss v Lewiston‑Richards for misinterpreting MCL 445.904(1)(a) and reversed the Court of Appeals, vacating the circuit court’s summary‑disposition order and remanding for further proceedings.
