1990This Court held in People v Lowell, 250 Mich 349 ; 230 NW 202 (1930), that at common law the repeal 12 of a criminal statute barred the prosecution of all pending and subsequent cases authorized under the repealed statute in the absence of a saving clause or general saving statute.

2003Similarly, “[a]bsent a saving clause stating otherwise, [the repeal of a statute to change] a mode of procedure by altering or terminating a court’s jurisdiction applies to all accrued, pending, and future actions as long as it does not affect vested rights.” Hurt v Michael’s Food Ctr, 249 Mich App 687, 693-694 ; 644 NW2d 387 (2002), *494 citing Baltimore & P R Co v Grant, 98 US 398, 401 ; 25 L Ed 231 (1878) (observing “that if a law conferring jurisdiction is repealed without any reservation as to pending cases, all such cases fall with the law”).

1930No one can claim to have a vested right in any particular mode of procedure for an enforcement or defense of his rights." In South Carolina v. Gaillard , 101 U.S. 433 , it was held: "It is well settled that if a statute giving a special remedy is repealed without a saving clause in favor of pending suits, all suits must stop where the repeal finds them.

1915If final relief has not been granted, before the repeal went into effect, it cannot be after." South Carolina v. Gaillard, 101 U. S. 433 . ‘If a case is appealed, and, pending the appeal, the law is' changed, the appellate court must dispose of the case under the law in force when their decision is rendered.; Cooley’s Const. Lim. (2d Ed.) '381, and note.

2016In light of these provisions, we have held that parties may agree to limit the issues subject to arbitration, to arbitrate according to specific rules, and to limit with whom a party will arbitrate its disputes. [AT&T Mobility LLC v Concepcion, 563 US 333 , 344; 131 S Ct 1740 , 1748-49; 179 L Ed 2d 742 (2011) (internal citations and quotation marks omitted).

2014Though the courts have never dissented from the rule that the age of majority limits the duration of child-support payments, this saving clause has been used, when applicable, to provide for support up to a child’s twenty-first birthday. [Id. at 612-613, 620, 624 (opinion by RILEY, C.J.) (emphasis added).] The Court ultimately held that because of the amendment of the age of majority to 18 years of age, the exceptional-circumstances provision of the child support act was “legally void” and, thus, a court could not “authorize child support beyond a child’s eighteenth birthday.” Id. at 618-620 (

2014The defendant had been convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for engaging in “sexual penetration with a victim who ‘is at least 13 years of age and under 16 years of age.’ ” Id., quoting MCL 750.520d(l)(a).

2012Under that clause, even if an injured person had “taken [a vehicle] unlawfully”, MCL 500.3113(a) does not apply if “the person reasonably believed that he or she was entitled to take and use the vehicle.” Id.

2012The Court stated, “[i]f Plumb received the keys from someone who appeared to own the Jeep, it would have been reasonable for her to believe that she was entitled to take the Jeep within the meaning of [the saving clause of] § 3113(a).” Plumb, 282 Mich App at 430 .

2002As this Court held in Lindsey , “[a]s an exception to the statute of limitations, the saving provision should be strictly construed.” Lindsey, supra at 65 .

2002As our Court observed in Poffenbarger, supra at 9: The primary purpose of courts in interpreting statutes is to discover and give effect to the intent of the Legislature.

2000It is significant that Congress retained the savings clause of the predecessor statute, which preserved “the remedies now existing at common law or by statute.” Id. at 232 , 115 S Ct 817 Qquoting 49 USC § 1506 ). [Taj Mahal Travel, supra, p 194.] The saving clause has been amended and recodified, and now states that “[a] remedy under this part is in addition to any other remedies provided by law.” 49 USC 40120(c).

1997While a saving clause is an indication of Congressional intent, given the Court’s presumption against preemption in Cipollone and the narrow application by the plurality to the various claims at issue in the case, we are unable to conclude that the absence of the clause in that case is a distinction with a difference for this case. 24 See Moss v Outboard Marine Corp, 915 F Supp 183 (ED Cal, 1996); Carstensen v Brunswick Corp, supra; Davis v Brunswick Corp, 854 F Supp 1574 (ND Ga, 1993); Shield v Bayliner Marine Corp, 822 F Supp 81 (D Conn, 1993); Farner v Brunswick Corp, 239 Ill App 3d 885; 60

1997However, as seven members of the Cipollone Court agreed, when “Congress has considered the issue of pre-emption and has included in the enacted legislation a provision explicitly addressing that issue, and when that provision provides a ‘reliable indicium of congressional intent with respect to state authority’ . . . ‘there is no need to infer congressional intent to pre-empt state laws from the substantive provisions’ *29 of the legislation.” Id. at 517 , quoting California Federal Savings & Loan Ass’n v Guerra, 479 US 272, 282 ; 107 S Ct 683 ; 93 L Ed 2d 613 (1987). 11 v To resolve the issue

1997We disagree, noting that “ ‘[t]he obligation to pay compensation can be, indeed is designed to be, a potent method of governing conduct and controlling policy.’ ” Cipollone, supra at 521 , citing San Diego Bldg Trades Council v Garmon, 359 US 236, 247 ; 79 S Ct 773 ; 3 L Ed 2d 775 (1959). “ ‘[State] regulation can be as effectively exerted through an award of damages as through some form of preventive relief.’ ” Id.
