MICHIE V. GREAT LAKES STEEL DIV., NAT'L STEEL CORP.
495 F.2d 213 (6th Cir. 1974)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Great Lakes Steel (D) appealed a ruling which denied its motion
dismiss Michie's (P) action to hold Ds jointly and severally liable for a nuisance arising
from Ds' air pollution, contending that each P failed to satisfy 28 U.S.C.S 1332.
FACTS: Michie (P) and thirty-six other Canadians filed a federal diversity nuisance suit
against three American corporations. One of the three corporations was D. Each plaintiff
claimed between $11,000 to $35,000 in individual damages resulting from pollution discharged
into the air by the three corporations. The injuries sustained from the plants of the three
corporations were indivisible. D moved to have the complaint dismissed because each
plaintiff failed to meet the $10,000 federal diversity requirement. The trial court denied
that motion. D appealed.
