Laury v. General Motors Co

In Laury v. General Motors Co (On Remand, On Rehearing), 207 Mich. App. 249; 523 N.W.2d 633 (1994), two members of the panel affirmed an award of benefits that was based on aggravation of symptoms alone, but stated their belief that benefits should not be awarded unless the underlying condition itself was caused or aggravated by work. Because controlling authority held otherwise, they reluctantly affirmed. One member of the panel concurred, expressing the belief that symptomatic aggravation is a proper basis for awarding benefits. The judges of the Court declined to convene a special panel to resolve the implicit conflict. 207 Mich. App. 352; 524 N.W.2d 270 (1994).
