CASE SUMMARY:
In this reported Opinion and order, Judge Cohn ruled that income tax returns showing business income of a self-employed motorist for 7.8 weeks prior to his automobile accident did not establish a sufficient basis for determination of his work loss benefits under §3107(b) of the no-fault act and thus a genuine issue of material fact remained as to the appropriate computation of such work loss which precluded summary judgment in favor of the no-fault insurer.
