title: Kronenberg vs. Henry Ford Health System, et al. addresses constitutionality of malpractice reform legislation.
abstract: In November 1994, a Wayne County Circuit Court judge rendered an opinion upholding the constitutionality of the 182-day pre-suit notice and waiting requirements under the Malpractice Reform Legislation which became effective April 1, 1994. The Court's opinion is well written and will lend support to other constitutional attacks taking place in other circuit courts. It is expected that the Kronenberg case will be appealed. MSMS legal counsel will monitor this and other cases contesting the constitutionality of the Malpractice Reform Legislation and keep MSMS members apprised.
