Michigan Judicial System

[freemannabis]

"The Court of Claims has jurisdiction limited to hearing claims against the State of Michigan.

 

As a general rule, a state cannot be sued without its consent.

 

Michigan granted that consent by establishing the Court of Claims, which has exclusive jurisdiction in all claims except that the State Administrative Board is vested with discretionary authority in claims under $1,000.

 

The Court of Claims is part of the 30th Circuit Court (Ingham

County).

Well, kind of...

The court of claims doesn't create consent to be sued. That has to be done legislatively. The court of claims merely provides the forum. The state still cannot be sued for most things.

 

Also, saying the court of claims has exclusive jurisdiction is a bit misleading. The state can be sued in other venues as well. No point in getting into that discussion but just understand that you don't necessarily have to go to Lansing to sue the state.

On that note, I just found this:

Some years ago a patient adjudicated to a state run psychiatric hospital by Michigan courts was permitted an opportunity to kill people. While being treated this patient threatened to kill people. He was negligently allowed unsupervised freedom on unsecured grounds the next day by his treating psychiatrist. Guess what happened? He eloped and attempted to murder three Tuscola County residents, leaving two of them seriously and permanently disabled.

 

Recovery for their injuries and the psychiatrist's and states negligence? $0.00 IMMUNITY! Not even the medical bills!!!! They ate it all.
