The trial court is not required to explain its reasoning and state its findings of fact on pretrial motions, unless such findings are required by a particular rule. MCR 2.517(A)(4). See, e.g., MCR 2.504(B). However, doing so is helpful for appellate review. People v Shields, 200 Mich App 554, 558 (1993). “When an appellate court orders a new trial, that includes all phases of trial, including all pretrial matters such as motions for summary disposition.” Law Offices of Jeffrey Sherbow, PC v Fieger & Fieger, PC, ___ Mich App ___, ___ (2023).
