The appellate court affirmed the trial court's grant of summary disposition in favor of Selective Insurance but reversed and remanded the denial of EMC's motion for summary disposition, holding that EMC did not necessarily waive its right to rescind based on newly discovered misrepresentations, though the trial court must balance equities on remand.
What This Ruling Means

Unfortunately, the court's final decision in this case is not available in the provided information, so we cannot determine how the judge ruled on the insurance coverage questions or which party prevailed in the dispute.
**What This Means for Workers:**
While the specific outcome is unclear, this type of case highlights an important issue for employees. Many workers rely on employer-provided insurance coverage or may be affected when their employers have disputes with insurance companies. These disagreements can potentially impact workers' access to benefits, workers' compensation coverage, or other insurance protections tied to their employment. Workers should stay informed about their employer's insurance policies and understand what coverage they're entitled to, as insurance disputes between employers and insurance companies can sometimes affect employee benefits or protections.
