Terms Used In Michigan Laws 722.534
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
As it is the intent of the legislature that this duty shall be for the general purpose of clarifying the laws for the protection of children, when a question of jurisdiction based on residence is concerned, all cases arising under this act shall be deemed public cases without assessment of costs against any party.
