2019In Fletcher v Fletcher, 447 Mich 871, 881 ; 526 NW2d 889 (1994) (opinion of BRICKLEY, J.), our Supreme Court explained that there is no distinction between “clear legal error” and “ordinary ‘legal error,’ ” so a court commits clear legal error when it “incorrectly chooses, interprets, or applies the law[.]” Because I would conclude that the trial court misapplied MCL 710.45, I would reverse the trial court and reinstate the superintendent’s decision to deny petitioner consent to adopt RC.
