Description
The Honorable Justice MILLER delivered the opinion of the court: The plaintiff, Elisabeth Anderson, brought the present action in the circuit court of Cook County against defendants, Ronald Vanden Dorpel and Northwestern University. Vanden Dorpel was Anderson's supervisor at Northwestern and allegedly made defamatory remarks about her to a prospective employer. Anderson sought recovery under theories of defamation and interference with prospective economic advantage. On the defendants' motion, the circuit court dismissed those counts pursuant to section 2--615 of the Code of Civil Procedure (735 ILCS 5/2--615 (West 1992)). The appellate court reversed, finding that the plaintiff stated causes of action under both theories, and remanded the cause for further proceedings. 268 Ill. App. 3d 907, 645 N.E.2d 250, 206 Ill. Dec. 245. We allowed the defendants' petition for leave to appeal (155 Ill. 2d R. 315(a)), and we now reverse the judgment of the appellate court.
