Groehn One lovely Wednesday afternoon, in the 1870's, two little girls sat on the McVittie front steps on the south side of Canfield Avenue West, between Second Boulevard and Third Avenue. They were watching the carriagos and horses as they clip-clopped to a stop in front of the Watton carriage stone next door. The ladies in elegant afternoon attire were "com!"" to call" on Mrs. Walter I"atton, the wife of a prominent Detroit denti"t.. Wednesday was the day Mrs. Watton IIreceived," and this was duly noted in a Detroit society blue book, which was a handy reference book for the lIin societyll ladies.

The residents who are now rehe.bilitating these homes are recognizing the advantage of historic tOlm house lh-;.ng, wi th its proximity to the center of business, cultural, and educati'm"~_ facilities.

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. -

S T a T E O F M I C H I G a N Before the Michigan Public
S T A T E O F M I C H I G A N BEFORE THE MICHIGAN PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION * * * * * In the matter of the application of ) THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY ) Case No. U-13634 for approval of steam purchase agreements. ) ) At the December 6, 2002 meeting of the Michigan Public Service Commission in Lansing, Michigan. PRESENT: Hon. David A. Svanda, Commissioner Hon. Robert B. Nelson, Commissioner OPINION AND ORDER On November 21, 2002, The Detroit Edison Company (Detroit Edison) filed an application for approval of 89 fixed price steam purchase agreements and 6 variable price agreements between Detroit Edison and the customers listed on Attachment A. The fixed price associated with these agreements is $19.89 per 1,000 pounds of steam (Mlb). The variable price agreements are based on the previous month’s New York Mercantile Exchange natural gas closing price. Detroit Edison also filed an affidavit of Thomas J. LaVere showing Detroit Edison’s average cost of steam to be $22.92 per Mlb. The terms and conditions of the agreements filed by Detroit Edison are similar to those previously approved by the Commission. Eighty-eight of the agreements were executed without comment by both parties to the agreement. Accordingly, the Commission finds that those agreements are reasonable and in the public interest, and should be approved. The remaining seven agreements were also fully executed. However, in each case, the customer did so with some reservation, protest, or comment indicating dissatisfaction with the terms of the agreement. Those customers are identified on Attachment A by the words “signed with comment.” The Commission will review those agreements if the seven customers make an appropriate formal request for the Commission to do so. -
