  1. Making up for Lost Time: Lost Vacation Time is Lost Income under the Crime Victim’s Rights Act

    Warner Norcross & Judd LLPMadelaine LaneOctober 14, 2016

    Victim lost that accumulated time as he recovered from his injuries. Michigan’s Crime Victim’s Rights Act, MCL 780.751 et seq, provides victims of a crime with reimbursement for “after-tax income loss suffered by the victim as a result of the crime.” The trial court interpreted “income” in this statute to include lost vacation time, considering the MEDC’s policy to pay for such time.
