	Appeal from the Order entered October 31, 2007, Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Civil Division at August Term, 2005 No. 002626
Before: ORIE MELVIN, BOWES and DONOHUE, JJ.
Opinion by: DONOHUE, J.
Appellant, Brokerage Concepts, Inc. (“BCI”), appeals from the October 31, 2007 order denying its post-trial motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or a new trial and entering judgment in favor of Appellee, Walnut Street Associates, Inc. (“Walnut Street”). After careful review, we conclude that in accordance with the Restatement (Second) of Torts § 772(a), true statements may not be the basis for a claim of intentional interference with contractual relationships. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for entry of judgment notwithstanding the verdict in favor of BCI.
