2023The American rule is codified at MCL 600.2405(6), which provides that among the items that may be taxed and awarded as costs are “[a]ny attorney fees authorized by statute or by court rule.” The American rule stands in stark contrast to what is commonly referred to as the “English rule,” whereby the losing party pays the prevailing party’s costs absent an express exception. [Haliw v City of Sterling Hts, 471 Mich 700, 706-707 ; 691 NW2d 753 (2005).] Defendants’ motion cited several authorities in support of their belief they were entitled to attorney fees and costs.
