During my time in Hamtramck, Michigan, I had the privilege of meeting Dwydell Garrett, the son of Sarah Sims Garrett. He shared with me the details of this landmark case that spanned over five decades, from 1968 to 2024 -the case of Sarah Sims Garrett et al. v City of Hamtramck.

 The case has far-reaching implications for housing disputes in the US and demonstrates the resilience of the Garrett family and others involved in the class action. It also prompts the question of whether appropriate/alternative dispute resolution (ADR) via mediation could have expedited the case’s resolution.

Stay Tuned!
