Jaffe v. Harris

In Jaffe v. Harris, 126 Mich. App. 813; 338 N.W.2d 228 (1983), rev'd in part 419 Mich. 942, 355 N.W.2d 617 (1984), the Court applied 5838 to an accounting malpractice suit, without detailed analysis. In that case, the plaintiffs appealed the trial court's ruling dismissing plaintiffs' accounting malpractice claim. This Court affirmed the trial court's decision, citing MCL 600.5838; MSA 27A.5838 and MCL 600.5805; MSA 27A.5805. Jaffe, supra, 126 Mich. App. 822. The Supreme Court of Michiganreversed that portion of the Jaffe opinion dealing with damages for unauthorized withdrawals, but denied leave to appeal in all other respects. 419 Mich. 942, 355 N.W.2d 617. Therefore, our Supreme Court did not disturb this Court's ruling in Jaffe that 5838 governed accrual of a plaintiff's claim in accounting malpractice suits. Jaffe, 126 Mich. App. at 822.
