(concurring). I concur in the result.
I note the majority refers uncritically to the trial judge’s citation as fact "that Michigan is a notice-pleading state”. I am of the impression that Michigan is a fact-pleading state and the federal courts are notice-pleading forums. See the author’s comments to Rule 111, 1 Honigman & Hawkins, Michigan Court Rules Annotated (2d ed), pp 194-195, where it is stated that although Michigan is primarily concerned with notice it is generally known as a fact-pleading state.
