Titan Insurance Company v. Hytengreen2 sentences2023In Bazzi, our Supreme Court held that its decision in Titan Ins Co v Hyten, 491 Mich 547 ; 817 NW2d 562 (2012), abrogated the innocent third party rule, thereby allowing an insurer to seek rescission of an automobile insurance policy in cases of fraud. 2022In Bazzi, 502 Mich at 396 , our Supreme Court was asked to decide whether the innocent- third-party rule, which was judicially created and operated to prevent an insurer from rescinding an insurance policy procured through fraud when the claim of an innocent third party was at stake, survived the Court’s prior decision in Titan, 491 Mich at 547 . | 4 | 19 |

Lake States Insurance v. Wilsongreen2 sentences2016The panel in Wilson, 231 Mich App at 331-332 , in a slightly different factual scenario involving PIP benefits, reinforced the idea that the rules are not the same, specifying that the innocent-third-party rule acted as a bar against rescinding a policy as it concerns statutorily mandated benefits, and that the easily- ascertainable-fraud rule pertained to an insurer’s attempts to limit its liability as to optional coverage. 4 The panel in Wilson applied the same type of bar against rescission as found in MCL 257.520(f)(1) to PIP benefits based on their mandatory nature. 2016For instance, this Court’s justifications for the innocent-third-party rule have ranged from public policy, Katinsky, 201 Mich App at 171 , to reliance on our Supreme Court’s decision in Morgan, Darnell, 142 Mich App at 10 , to the language in MCL 257.520(f) 14 of the financial responsibility act, Wilson, 231 Mich App at 331 . | 1 | 1 |
