CASE SUMMARY:
In a memorandum Opinion, the Court of Appeals held that §3145 of the no-fault statute is a statute of limitations and not a notice provision. Accordingly, since plaintiff had not filed his claim against his insurance company within the time period specified in the statute, his claim was barred. The decision is consistent with previous opinions in Davis v Farmers Insurance Group (item number 113) and Dolson v Secretary of State (item number 91).
