Wayne County v Chief Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit.
    (Docket No. 70647.)
    
      George H. Cross, Wayne County Corporation Counsel, and Miller, Canñeld, Paddock & Stone for plaintiff. Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman (Earnan & Ravitz, P.C., of counsel), for intervening plaintiffs. Francis B. Crowley for the Chief Judge of the Third Circuit. Alphonso R. Harper for the Chief Judge of the Recorder’s Court. Jack J. Schmerling for The National Legal Aid and Defender Association as amicus curiae. Timothy F. Konieczny for State Bar Defender Systems and Services Committee as amicus curiae.
   Complaint for superintending control dismissed without prejudice to the institution of an appropriate action in circuit court by any of the parties to the action or by individuals or entities not parties to the action for a determination of the duty to pay or the right to be paid in accordance with a fee schedule for the compensation of lawyers representing indigent defendants. The record in the original proceeding is an inadequate basis for decision because of factual questions and disputes which must be resolved before judgment, but which have never been the subject of proofs by the parties.
