<bold>Employer and Employee; Wrongful Interference —</bold> <bold>interference with contract — covenant not to compete</bold> <bold>and termination by new employer</bold> <block_quote> Summary judgment for defendant was affirmed in an action for tortious interference with contract where defendant's evidence was that plaintiff worked for defendant before going to work for a competitor (CCA); plaintiff had signed a non-compete agreement with defendant; defendant sought to enforce that agreement and to prevent the loss of trade secrets; a lawsuit was filed; and CCA dismissed plaintiff. Defendant did not demand that plaintiff be fired (only that violations of the agreement cease); defendant threatened to sue but provided CCA with no incentive to fire plaintiff; defendant's intent was only to protect its own interests; and similar cases had resulted in negotiation and settlement rather than termination. Plaintiff provided no evidence to the contrary.</block_quote>
<bold>Arbitration and Mediation — arbitration — attorney fees</bold> <block_quote> The superior court did not err in a securities broker's defamation, wrongful termination, failure to pay severance benefits, tortious interference with contractual relations, and withholding of referral fees case by affirming an arbitration award granting attorney fees to petitioner even though respondent contends that the arbitration panel lacked the authority to award attorney fees, because: (1) both parties specifically requested attorney fees; and (2) the parties' uniform submission agreement incorporated the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Rules, and NYSE Rule 629 allowed a panel of arbitrators to award attorney fees.</block_quote>
<bold>1. Trials — motion for new trial — abuse of discretion</bold> <bold>standard</bold> <block_quote> The trial court did not err in an action arising out of an automobile accident by setting aside the verdict and by granting plaintiffs' motion for a new trial on the issue of damages to the minor plaintiffs, because: (1) an appellate court may reverse the trial court's decision to grant a new trial, but only in those exceptional cases where abuse of discretion is clearly shown; and (2) a review of the record revealed that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting plaintiffs' motion.</block_quote> <bold>2. Evidence — defendant's testimony — damages</bold> <block_quote> The trial court did not err in an action arising out of an automobile accident by considering defendant's testimony as a basis for awarding a new trial on the issue of damages to the minor plaintiffs where plaintiff never objected to such testimony at trial, because: (1) a trial court is not prevented from considering specific testimony when ruling on a motion for a new<page_number>Page 579</page_number> trial under N.C.G.S. § <cross_reference>1A-1</cross_reference>, Rule 59(a)(6) even if a party did not object to it; and (2) Rule 59(a)(6) requires the trial court to find the award of damages to have been influenced by passion or prejudice, and such a determination requires a consideration of the entire record.</block_quote> <bold>3. Evidence — findings of fact — conclusions of law</bold> <block_quote> The trial court did not err in an action arising out of an automobile accident by its finding of fact number 12 because it was supported by competent evidence, and the conclusions of law were supported by the findings of fact.</block_quote> <bold>4.
