The opinion

Ronayne Krause, J. (concurring).

*197 I respectfully concur with the majority's conclusion that Covenant Med. Ctr., Inc. v. State Farm Mut. Ins. Co. , 500 Mich. 191 , 895 N.W.2d 490 (2017), applies retroactively and that plaintiff must be afforded an opportunity to amend its pleadings. I am merely unpersuaded that there is any sufficient reason present in this matter for departing from the general rule that decisions from our Supreme Court should be given retroactive effect by default.
