R 418.65 Cross appeals.
Cite as Mich. Admin. Code R 418.65
Rule 5. (1) A cross appeal must be received by the commission not later than 30 days after
the cross appellant has first received a copy of an appellant’s brief. A party filing a cross appeal
is a cross appellant and all other parties are cross appellees. The cross appellant shall certify the
date of first receipt of appellant’s brief. The failure to so certify creates a rebuttable presumption
that the cross appellant received the appellant’s brief on the date the commission received that
brief. The cross appellant shall provide all other parties with copies of the cross appeal at the
time of filing with the commission, and shall certify to the commission that this has occurred.
(2) A cross appeal may not be filed before the cross appellant has received appellant’s brief.
(3) A delayed cross appeal may not be filed. An extension of time to file a reply brief does
not extend the time to file a cross appeal.
(4) The withdrawal or dismissal of the appellant’s appeal extinguishes the cross appeal.
(5) A cross appeal must be filed on the claim for review form, and state that the cross
appellant cross appeals the order from which an appellant has filed a claim for review.
(6) A document purporting to be a cross appeal that is not filed pursuant to the requirements
of this rule is a claim for review.
