Text

The rules in this chapter govern procedure in all civil proceedings in all courts established

by the constitution and laws of the State of Michigan, except where the limited jurisdiction of a

court makes a rule inherently inapplicable or where a rule applicable to a specific court or a

specific type of proceeding provides a different procedure.
