STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS CHARLES F. ZIMMERMANN and SUSAN ZIMMERMANN, UNPUBLISHED November 26, 2002 Plaintiffs-Appellants, v GARDEN CITY OSTEOPATHIC HOSPITAL, No. 235032 Wayne Circuit Court LC No. 01-108357-NH Defendant-Appellee. Before: Jansen, P.J., and Holbrook, Jr. and Cooper, JJ. COOPER, J. (concurring). I concur with my esteemed colleagues, but write to emphasize the phrase constrained to follow Holmes v Michigan Capital Medical Center, 242 Mich App 703; 620 NW2d 319 (2000). There was a time in this state’s jurisprudence when this type of motion would have been considered to be form over substance. The trial judge would have had the discretion to make such determinations in the interest of justice so that facially legitimate claimants had full access to the courts. /s/ Jessica R. Cooper -1-
