2013In any event, defendant was not completely denied the assistance of counsel at a critical stage of the proceedings and defense counsel did not “entirely fail[] to subject the prosecution’s case to meaningful adversarial testing.. ..” Cronic, 466 US at 659 ; see also People v Frazier, 478 Mich 231, 243 , 243 n 10; 733 NW2d 713 (2007).

2013Moreover, nothing in the record indicates that this is one of the rare cases in which “the likelihood that any lawyer, even a fully competent one, could provide effective assistance is so small that a presumption of prejudice is appropriate without inquiry into the actual conduct of the trial.” Cronic, 466 US at 659-660 ; see also People v Mitchell, 454 Mich 145, 155 ; 560 NW2d 600 (1997).

1991Further clarifying this distinction is Jackson City Bank & Trust Co v Fredrick, 271 Mich 538, 544-546 ; 260 NW 908 (1935): When there is a want of jurisdiction over the parties, or the subject-matter, no matter what formalities may have been taken by the trial court, the action thereof is void because of its want of jurisdiction, and consequently its proceedings may be questioned collaterally as well as directly.

1974It would seem that the proceedings at bar are analogous to a proceeding in bankruptcy, Barton v Barbour, supra, and that therefore we can look for guidance to the bankruptcy rules and the decisions thereon as well as the texts dealing with the subject. 11 USCA 93(a), being § 57(a) of the Federal Bankruptcy Act, states in part as follows: "A proof of claim shall consist of a statement, in writing and signed by a creditor, setting forth the claim; the consideration therefor; whether any and, if so, what securities are held therefor; and whether any and, if so, what payments have been made thereo

1948Such petition shall be filed against the municipality wherein such fraud or error is alleged to have been committed.” With reference to these sections of the statutes it was said in Youells v. Morrish, 218 Mich. 194 : “A reading of these new sections clearly evidences, we think, this legislative intent-: That where it is claimed there was fraud or there was error, invalidity, in an election at which any constitutional amendment, question or proposition has been voted upon, the proceedings to test the election must be against the municipality affected by the proceedings and must be brought with

1948The purpose of the change is clearly apparent ; the municipality to be affected by the proceedings should have an opportunity to be heard, and public policy requires that there should be a speedy determination of the’ validity of the election before engagements are entered into by such municipality. ’ ’ In Anderson v. Levin, 218 Mich. 225 , leave to file the petition was obtained from the circuit judge but it was not filed within the 30-day period fo’lloAving the election.

1934The procedure here followed by Ward, by way of assignment and garnishment, was founded on Barlow v. Lincoln-Williams Twist Drill Co., 186 Mich. 46 , which is in point on the issue except in the one respect that, there, the amount owing the defendant by the garnishee-assignor was less than the debt of the defendant to the garnishee-assignor.

1931In Gage v. Sanborn, 106 Mich. 269, 276 , where a mortgage was assigned after foreclosure proceedings instituted by the mortgagee and before sale, it was said: “Assignment before sale invalidates the pending proceedings to foreclose by advertisement, the reason is that the power and the interest cannot be separated. .

1876Co. v. Owen, supra, that “it is a settled rule of law that all exceptional methods of obtaining jurisdiction over persons, natural or artificial, not found within the state, must be confined to the cases and exercised in the way precisely indicated by statute;” and the remark is strictly in point in regard to both the proceedings on which the defense in this case is based.
