2018In other words, contrary to the trial court's attempt to define a parent's duty based on parental immunity, "the availability of an immunity has no bearing on whether a duty exists, but rather focuses on redressability." Vandonkelaar , 290 Mich. App. at 212 , 800 N.W.2d 760 ( MURRAY , J., dissenting). 10 *911 *149 Consistently with this distinction between duty and immunity, the comparative-fault statutes make plain that the availability of immunity does not control the existence of a duty that can give rise to an allocation of fault to a nonparty under MCL 600.2957 and MCL 600.6304.

2023Haskell v Berghuis, 511 Fed Appx 538, 545 (CA 6, 2013).3 Because trial counsel cannot be faulted for failing to advance a meritless position, when there is a question as to whether a defendant can assert a particular affirmative defense, the availability of that defense should be addressed first.
