Narrative Opinion Summary
The Michigan Supreme Court issued an order on February 6, 2013, regarding the case between Wireless Toyz Franchise, L.L.C. (plaintiff/counter-defendant-appellee) and Clear Choice Communication, Inc., along with associated defendants (defendants/counter-plaintiffs-appellants). The Court reviewed the application for leave to appeal from the May 31, 2012 judgment of the Court of Appeals. Instead of granting leave, the Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals’ judgment, aligning with the dissenting opinion from that court. The Supreme Court reinstated the Oakland Circuit Court's March 29, 2011 order, which had denied the defendants’ motion to vacate an arbitration award and confirmed the award. The Clerk of the Court, Corbin R. Davis, certified the order as a true and complete copy.
