SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Removal of action involving more than $3,000. Provides that when the amount in controversy in an action in a general district court exceeds the sum of $ 3,000, the judge shall remove the case to circuit court if the defendant states a substantial defense to the action exclusive of the sole issue of the amount or computation of damages. Current law allows removal for any substantial defense without regard to amount or computation of damages.
