Cook of the New York bar, without a formal charter. Thereafter, in 1923-1924 he erected the first building as a center for its activities and named it The Lawyers Club. This building was put into.use for the first time in the fall of 1924. In 1930 Mr. Cook added a second building, which he named the John P. Cook Building, in memory of his father. The property used by the Club in its activities is vested in the Regents of the University of Michigan in trust. Its management, and the management of the Club generally, are vested.in a Bo;µ-d of Governors. It is stipulated in the instrument of gift that "going prices shall be charged for room and board" and that mem­ bers of the Club, whether residing in .the building or not, shall be charged annual dues to be fixed by the Board of Governors, It is also stipulated that all mem­ bership dues and all profits qerived frQm the operation of the Club buildings "shall be used exclusively for le­ gal research, to be expended from time to time as the governors deem best." The Board of Governors, as it was originally consti­ tuted by Mr. Cook, consisted of the Dean of the law faculty, ex officio, who was to be President of the Board, and four members of the law faculty, who were to be chosen by the Regents of the University of Michigan. 16 CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS In 1925, with the consent of the donor, the Board of Governors was reconstituted to consist of the Chief Jus­ tice of the Michigan Supreme Court, one Regent, two members of the law faculty, two practicing lawyers, and two law students. In 1926 there were added, likewise with the consent of the donor, one elected member of the Supreme Court of Michigan and the President of the University of Michigan. In 1932 the Board of Governors of The Lawyers Club filed the following Articles of Incorporation and was granted a corporate charter under the General Laws of Michigan. · ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE BOARD OF GoVERNORS OF THE LAWYERS CLUB OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN These Articles of Incorporation are signed and acknowledged by the incorporators for the purpose of forming a non-profit corporation under the provisions of Act No. 327 of the Public Acts of 1931, known as the Michigan General Corporation Act, as follows: ARTICLE I The name of this corporation is The Board of Gov­ ernors of The Lawyers Club of the University of Mich­ igan. THE LAWYER$ CLUB 17 ARTICLE II The purpose or purposes of this corpot;ation are as follows: ' To maintain and operate at. the University of Mich­ igan in connection with buildings now or hereafter owned by the Regents of the Univeniity of Michigan, in trust or otherwise, a club, dormitories, and/or din­ ing rooms for law students and lawyers; to promote and support legal research; to promote the welfare of the legal profession and of law students and the study and advancement of the law; and to do any or all of these things directly or indirectly as 'the corporation may in its discretion determine.

I. INTRODUCTION This insurance coverage dispute is assigned to the Complex Commercial Litigation Division of the Court. Plaintiff Buhl Building, LLC (“Buhl”) brings this action against Defendants Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (“Commonwealth”) and Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”) (collectively, the “Defendants”). Buhl purchased a title insurance policy (the “Contract”) from Commonwealth. FNF is Commonwealth’s parent corporation. The Court has reviewed the Contract and notes that FNF is not a signatory to that agreement. Buhl initiated this civil action by filing a complaint (the “Complaint”). In the Complaint, Buhl alleges that Commonwealth and FNF, working together, failed to provide clean title to a potential buyer of the Buhl’s building and failed to indemnify Buhl. As a result, Buhl contends that Commonwealth and FNF (i) breached the Contract,1 and (ii) acted in bad faith.
