Plaintiff-Appellant,
v
AUTO OWNERS INSURANCE COMPANY and
AL BOURDEAU INSURANCE SERVICES,
INC.,
No. 262653
Genesee Circuit Court
LC No. 04-079042-CK
Defendants-Appellees.
Before: Davis, P.J., and Fitzgerald and Cooper, JJ.
COOPER, J. (concurring).
I agree with the result reached by the majority opinion. I write separately only to express
my concern about designating a specific length of time a home may be kept “under construction”
before it is deemed “vacant.” There are many circumstances where a home may remain under
construction for an extended period of time, even 27 months. However, in this situation, repairs
were not underway during the lengthy period and it was reasonable to deem the home “vacant.”
The length of time is not the critical issue in making the designation; rather, it is the type of
activity that occurs during this period.
/s/ Jessica R. Cooper
