People v. Fountaingreen

1 sentence

1981Because all of the operative facts in the instant case occurred after the date that Fountain was decided, the issue of Fountain’s retroactive application is not involved. 2 Concerning the time in which a supplemental information must be filed, the Fountain decision begins by restating the long standing rule that "[a] prosecutor who knows a person has a prior felony record must promptly proceed, if at all, against the person as an habitual offender.” People v Fountain, supra, 98.

Reinink v. Van Loozenoord green

1 sentence

1968The rule defendants believe to be applicable is stated in their brief as follows: “It has been the long standing rule that specific performance will not be granted in favor of one party unless it can be also granted in favor of the other party.” The case of Reinink v. Van Loozenoord (1963), 370 Mich 121 , cited by both parties, is dispositive of the issue of mutuality.
