M. J. Kelly, P.J.
(dissenting). I concur in the per curiam opinion’s finding that relief for clerical mistake under GCR 1963, 528.1 is unavailable in these circumstances. I respectfully dissent, however, from the Court’s finding that relief should be granted under GCR 1963, 528.3(1). Whether relief under this subrule is appropriate should have been briefed and argued before the circuit court.
In addition, any motion under GCR 1963, 528.3(1) must be made not more than one year after the judgment. Whether we consider the judgment as having been entered by the trial court’s original opinion dated June 8, 1979, or the order implementing judgment dated April 30, 1981, *360makes no difference, because a motion for relief under GCR 1963, 528.3(1) was never made at any time by plaintiff. The motion time bar is ignored by this Court’s per curiam opinion, which simply glosses over the limitation by itself granting relief for a motion plaintiff should have made.
I think the majority’s approach is procedurally improper. I would hold, therefore, that the trial court did not err in denying plaintiff’s motion for a corrective order.
I would affirm.
