  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 14, 2010
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in
  lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE in part the judgment of the Court of
  Appeals and we REMAND this case to the Wayne Circuit Court for further proceedings.
  When the complaint allegations are viewed in a light most favorable to the plaintiff, she
  did allege an unjustified instigation of the breach by the defendants. The Court of
  Appeals erred when it concluded, as a matter of law, that the defendants were motivated
  by a legitimate business interest, which, in this case, was a determination to be made by
  the jury. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
  that the remaining question presented should be reviewed by this Court.

                           I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                     foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
