The trial court granted Mr. Bernard's motion for summary disposition in a case where a builder alleged that the bank was liable for tortious interference with contractual relationships after the bank refused to approve the builder in conjunction with a construction loan. Agreeing that the bank had a right to approve or not approve of builders, the court entered a judgment awarding Mr. Bernard's client its attorney fees as sanctions. The Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed.
