On July 28, 2023, the Supreme Court of Michigan significantly changed the framework of premises liability law in Michigan and the open and obvious doctrine, which mainly found application in slip and fall cases. The decision Kandil-Elsayed v. F & E Oil, Inc., No. 162907, 2023 WL 4845611 (Mich. July 28, 2023), represents a significant shift in Michigan law and makes it much more likely that premises owners (both residential and commercial) will face lawsuits in the future.
