  1. MSC mini-oral argument: Is it a crime to steal fixtures from a home during the redemption period?

    Warner Norcross & Judd LLPMadelaine LaneJune 12, 2015

    In People v. March, No. 151342, the Michigan Supreme Court granted mini-oral argument to consider an application for leave to appeal on whether a defendant committed larceny when he removed fixtures from his home after foreclosure, but before the end of the redemption period. The court also directed the parties to address whether the fixtures severed from real property constitute “money, goods, or chattels” under the larceny statute, MCL 750.356(1). The defendant was charged with larceny under MCL 750.360 for removing fixtures from his father’s home after it went into foreclosure and for possessing stolen property under MCL 750.535(1), (4)(a).
