Bates V. Superior Court

This petition for review asks us to reverse a partial summary judgment selecting Michigan as the source of law on issues of insurance bad faith and punitive damages. The basic question is whether the correct choice is the law of Arizona, Michigan or Ohio. We granted review to clarify and settle issues of statewide importance. Rule 23, Ariz.R.Civ.App.P., 17A A.R.S.; Rule 8(b), Ariz.R.P.Spec.Act., 17A A.R.S. We have jurisdiction under Ariz. Const. art. 6, § 5(3) and A.R.S. § 12-120.24.
