On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal is considered, and it is GRANTED, 90 Mich.App. 612, 282 N.W.2d 417. The parties are directed to include among the issues to be briefed: whether the doctrine of Lex loci delicti should be abandoned in favor of the dominant or substantial contacts test for determining the law to be applied in a conflict of laws context; or whether, in lieu of abandoning the doctrine of Lex loci delicti, the public policy of this state mandates application of Michigan law under the facts of this case.
The clerk is directed to place this case on the April 1980 session calendar. The briefs and appendixes of the parties are to be filed and served in the manner provided by GCR 1963, 857, but the appellant's brief and appendix must be filed and served by January 25, 1980, and the appellee's brief, and appendix if necessary, by March 14, 1980.
