1. MCL 600.2559 has been amended. This has to do with court officer fees for service of process and related service charges. For example, personal service of a suit is now $23.00 plus mileage; and service of a garnishment is $20.00 plus mileage. Writs to seize assets: 7% of the first $8000 and 3% of amounts over that are owed to the officer; plus posting fees and other expenses (see .2559 (1). The amended section calls for further fee increases each year in 2014 and 2015 as well. These fee charges are all reasonable and necessary, but they are something attorneys working in enforcement of judgments should be aware of.
