On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 5, 2011 judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-appellants are considered, and they are GRANTED. The parties shall include among the issues to be briefed whether Shallal v. Catholic Social Services of Wayne County, 455 Mich. 604, 566 N.W.2d 571 (1997), correctly held that the primary motivation of an employee pursuing a whistleblower claim must be a desire to inform the public on matters of public concern, as opposed to personal vindictiveness.
Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
