Motion to Correct or to Strike Pleadings in Michigan

What Is a Motion to Correct or to Strike Pleadings?

Background

Mich. Ct. R. 2.115(A) governs motions to correct or clarify pleadings. Additionally, Mich. Ct. R. 2.115(B) governs motions to strike.

General Information for Complaints and Motions

Motion for More Definite Statement

“If a pleading is so vague or ambiguous that it fails to comply with the requirements of these rules, an opposing party may move for a more definite statement before filing a responsive pleading. The motion must point out the defects complained of and the details desired. If the motion is granted and is not obeyed within 14 days after notice of the order, or within such other time as the court may set, the court may strike the pleading to which the motion was directed or enter an order it deems just.”

(Mich. Ct. R. 2.115(A).)

Motion to Strike

“On motion by a party or on the court's own initiative, the court may strike from a pleading redundant, immaterial, impertinent, scandalous, or indecent matter, or may strike all or part of a pleading not drawn in conformity with these rules.”

(Mich. Ct. R. 2.115(B).)

Standard of Review and Burdens of Proof

“[The] Court reviews a trial court's decision regarding a motion to strike a pleading pursuant to MCR 2.115 for an abuse of discretion.” (Belle Isle Grill Corporation v. City of Detroit (2003) 256 Mich. App. 463, 469.)

The Court’s Decision

“[I]t is well established that our courts look beyond mere procedural labels and read the allegations in a complaint as a whole to ascertain the nature of a claim.” (Khan v. City of Flint (2011) 490 Mich. 851, 853.)

“Defendants, too, have tools to address underdeveloped complaints that could sound in either medical malpractice or ordinary negligence. One is to ‘move for a more definite statement before filing a responsive pleading’ if the ‘pleading is so vague or ambiguous that it fails to comply with the requirements of these rules.’” (Trowell v. Providence Hosp. & Med. Ctrs., Inc. (2017) 502 Mich. 509, 535 n.39 citing MCR 2.115(A).)
