Michigan Supreme Court August 16, 2012, Docket 143329, 143348, and 143633 (Hill v. Sears, Roebuck and Co)

Mary Beth Kelly, J.

These cases arise out of an explosion that destroyed plaintiff Marcy Hill’s Clinton Township home after she released natural gas through an uncapped gas line, which ignited when her adult daughter attempted to light a candle, after they had both actually smelled the gas in the home throughout the day and evening.
