Terms Used In Michigan Laws 488.27

  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
     A financial institution seeking to share a funds transfer facility pursuant to this act, and believing that it has been unjustly denied access or that the sharing requirements for its participation are unfairly discriminatory may seek a settlement of the dispute by arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American arbitration association applicable to commercial arbitration if all parties have agreed to arbitration, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered in a court having jurisdiction; or seek redress in the circuit court in the appropriate jurisdiction.
