On April 8, 2011, the Wayne County Circuit Court granted summary disposition to the City of Grosse Pointe Woods and its public safety officers on the basis of governmental immunity. The City and public safety officers were represented by McGraw Morris P.C. attorney G. Gus Morris. Plaintiff sued the City and two public safety officers seeking damages as a result of property that was allegedly damaged as a result of a flood in the property room of the City’s police department. The City was entitled to absolute immunity because Plaintiff failed to allege that any statutory exception to governmental immunity applied to the City’s actions. The officers were entitled to governmental immunity because the Plaintiff failed to allege any gross negligence on their part or that any gross negligence was “the” proximate cause of any injury.
