In this case, the Court of Appeals ruled that the district court erroneously failed to consider both an amended interrogatory answer and affidavit in granting summary disposition, which were both presented after the discovery cut-off date. The Court found that the close of discovery was not a deadline or limitation for the necessary amendments pursuant to MCR 2.302(E).
