Court of Appeals No. 270430.
Leave to Appeal Granted April 30, 2008:
The parties shall address: (1) whether there is an exception to the economic loss doctrine-which provides that parties to a purely commercial dispute are limited to the remedies of the Uniform Commercial Code, MCL 440.1101 et seq.; see Neibarger v Universal Cooperatives, Inc, 439 Mich 512, 520, 528 (1992)-for claims of fraud in the inducement, see Huron Tool Engineering Co v Precision Consulting Services, Inc, 209 Mich App 365 (1995); and, if so, (2) whether the fraud claims in this case are sufficiently distinguishable from the contract claims for purposes of applying the fraudulent inducement exception.
