Motor Vehicle Code (Civil Liability of Owner) (MCL 257.401)
CASE SUMMARY:
In this per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals affirmed the holding in Allstate v Defrain (item number 71) and held that family exclusion clauses do not absolve an insurer from defending a person in a tort case who drove the named insured's vehicle with permission of the named insured and who caused an accident in which the named insured passenger was killed. In this case, the policy extended toward coverage to permissive users of the car but also excluded from liability coverage bodily injury to any insured.
