Description
Plaintiff appeals as of right from a November 4, 1984, order of accelerated judgment granted under GCR 1963, 116.1(5), now MCR 2.116(C)(7). The question presented on appeal is whether actions for tortious interference with a contract are governed by the three-year period of limitation as provided under MCL 600.5805(8); MSA 27A.5805(8) or by the six-year period of limitation as provided under MCL 600.5813; MSA 27A.5813. We hold that the applicable limitation period is three years and we affirm the order of accelerated judgment entered in this case. According to the complaint, plaintiff entered into a buy-sell agreement on May 8, 1977, whereby he agreed to buy a parcel of real property owned by Jean Cope and located in Kent County. On the previous day, Cope had listed the property for sale with defendants but the listing agreement included a reservation clause which relieved Cope of the obligation to pay a commission if the property were sold to plaintiff within one week of the listing agreement. According to plaintiff, when defendant Logee was informed of the purchase agreement, she convinced Cope that the purchase price of $65,000 was inadequate, tore up the original listing agreement and substituted it with a new agreement which did not include the reservation clause. Cope then attempted to rescind the buy-sell agreement with plaintiff but plaintiff filed a suit for specific performance and the dispute was ultimately settled. Plaintiff obtained the property in February of 1978.
