CASE SUMMARY:
In this brief written Opinion, Judge Sutherland ruled that in order to recover "mini-tort" property damages under §3135(2)(d) a plaintiff must have complied with the statutory mandate and purchased requisite no-fault insurance on his vehicle. The Judge relied specifically on the 1981 decision in Franklin v Jenkins (Item No. 508) in support of his ruling.
