JANSEN, J.

Plaintiff-garnishor, Charon Hare, personal representative of the estate of Marcel D. Hare, deceased, appeals by right the circuit court's order denying her motion for summary disposition and granting summary disposition in favor of garnishee Frontier Insurance Company (Frontier) on the ground that a New York antisuit injunction was entitled to full faith and credit. We affirm, albeit for a different reason than that relied on by the circuit court.

I

This garnishment action arises out of the drowning death of plaintiffs decedent, Marcel D. Hare (Marcel), in the Kalamazoo River. Marcel had been in foster care with Starr Commonwealth Corporation (Starr Commonwealth) since approximately December 1, 1999. After several unsuccessful short-term placements with various foster families, Starr Commonwealth ultimately placed Marcel in the home of foster parent Selma Melvin (Melvin) on March 28, 2000. On the evening of April 15, 2000, while under the care of Melvin, Marcel jumped from a bridge over the Kalamazoo River and drowned.

On February 28, 2003, plaintiff, as personal representative of Marcel's estate, filed suit against Melvin and Starr Commonwealth in the Calhoun Circuit Court. According to plaintiff, Melvin regularly allowed Marcel to "wander the neighborhood" without adult supervision. Among other things, plaintiff alleged that Melvin had been negligent or grossly negligent by failing to properly supervise Marcel, especially given that Marcel was a special-needs child.

Frontier insured Starr Commonwealth under a professional-liability policy and a commercial, general-liability policy. These policies also included Melvin, as one of Starr Commonwealth's foster parents, within the scope of their coverage. Frontier accordingly provided defense counsel for both Melvin and Starr Commonwealth.

On October 2, 2006, defendants Melvin and Starr Commonwealth jointly moved for summary disposition. On October 25, 2006, the circuit court granted the motion for summary disposition as it related to plaintiffs claims against Starr Commonwealth, dismissing Starr Commonwealth from the action. However, the circuit allowed plaintiffs claims against Melvin to go forward and the matter was scheduled for trial.

Sometime before trial, Melvin informed her attorneys that she had decided not to appear for trial and that she would be discharging them as defense counsel. Citing a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship, Melvin's attorneys filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of record on November 3, 2006. The circuit court granted the attorneys' motion to withdraw on November 20, 2006. As she had threatened to do, Melvin refused to appear in the matter. Consequently, on December 12, 2006, the circuit court entered a default judgment against Melvin in the amount of $350,000 plus case-evaluation sanctions.

On October 24, 2008, plaintiff filed the instant garnishment action in the Calhoun Circuit Court, seeking a writ of nonperiodic garnishment against Frontier in the amount of $393,260 (the amount of the default judgment, plus costs and interest). On November 17, 2008, Frontier filed its garnishee disclosure statement, in which it alleged that it was not indebted to Melvin and was not responsible for any portion of the default judgment entered against her.

On January 5, 2009, Frontier moved for summary disposition. Frontier argued that plaintiffs garnishment action should be dismissed oh the basis of a New York "order of rehabilitation," which had been entered by the supreme court of the state of New York, county of New York, on October 10, 2001, and that purported to bar any and all legal actions against Frontier. Frontier attached a copy of the New York order of rehabilitation to its motion for summary disposition. The order of rehabilitation, entered pursuant to the New York insurance law, provides that Frontier is "incorporated in New York," that Frontier is "subject to the New York Insurance Law," that Frontier has become insolvent, that Frontier has "failed to cure its impairment of capital," and that Frontier has "consented to the entry of the order of rehabilitation[.]" The New York court determined that it was "in the best interest of Frontier's policyholders, creditors and the general public that the [New York] Superintendent [of Insurance] be directed to take possession of Frontier's property and to rehabilitate its business and affairs" The order of rehabilitation directs the New York Superintendent of Insurance to "immediately take possession of [Frontier's] property," to '"conduct [Frontier's] business," and to "take such other actions as set forth in . . . the New York Insurance Law." The order of rehabilitation also provides that "[a]ll persons are enjoined and restrained from commencing or prosecuting any actions, lawsuits, or proceedings against Frontier," and that "[a]ll persons are enjoined and restrained from obtaining preferences, judgments, [and] attachments or other liens . . . against Frontier's assets[.]" Frontier contended that the Calhoun Circuit Court was required to afford full faith and credit to the New York order of rehabilitation pursuant to Michigan's common law as well as the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (UEFJA), MCL 691.1171 et seq.

Thereafter, plaintiff filed a cross-motion for summary disposition. Plaintiff argued that the New York order of rehabilitation constituted an out-of-state antisuit injunction that was not entitled to legal effect beyond the territorial limits of the state of New York. Plaintiff further argued that it would violate Michigan's public policy for the circuit court to enforce the New York order of rehabilitation. Lastly, plaintiff argued that the order of rehabilitation was not entitled to full faith and credit or comity because she had not been subject to the personal jurisdiction of the New York courts at the time the order was entered and because the enforcement of the order in Michigan would negatively affect her substantial rights.

Following oral argument, the circuit court issued a written opinion concerning the parties' respective motions for summary disposition. In that opinion, the court observed that "[t]he dispositive issue in these motions for summary disposition . . . is the effect in Michigan of a 2001 Order of the Supreme Court of the State of New York . . . which places [Frontier] in the possession of the Insurance Superintendent of the State of New York . . . and which enjoins all persons from commencing any actions and from obtaining any judgments or liens against Frontier." Relying in part on Keehn v. Charles J. Rogers, Inc., 311 Mich. 416, 425; 18 N.W.2d 877 (1945), the circuit court ruled that it was "satisfied . . . that the 2001 New York Supreme Court Order is entitled to full faith and credit in this action and therefore that the garnishment action against [Frontier] must be dismissed." The court went on to state that "[p]laintiff['s] remedy, if any, against Frontier lies in the State of New York." On March 30, 2009, the circuit court entered a final order granting Frontier's motion for summary disposition, denying plaintiffs cross-motion for summary disposition, and dismissing plaintiffs claims against Frontier with prejudice.

II

We review de novo a circuit court's decision to grant or deny a motion for summary disposition. Spiek v. Dep't of Transp, 456 Mich. 331, 337; 572 N.W.2d 201 (1998). We also review de novo questions concerning the applicability of the UEFJA and the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution. Blackburne Brown Mtg. Co. v. Ziomek, 264 Mich. App. 615, 620; 692 N.W.2d 388 (2004).

The standard of review is less clear as it relates to the issue of comity. Courts use the term "comity" in several different contexts. In the traditional context, courts consider purely whether to enforce a foreign judgment as a matter of "comity." See Hilton v. Guyot, 159 U.S. 113, 202-203; 16 S.Ct. 139; 40 L.Ed. 95 (1895). To a large extent, this traditional notion of comity was at play in Dart v. Dart, 460 Mich. 573, 575; 597 N.W.2d 82 (1999), wherein the Michigan Supreme Court held that the parties' foreign judgment of divorce was entitled to enforcement in this state even though recognition of the judgment was not constitutionally mandated. In such cases, appellate courts generally appear to apply a de novo standard of review. See Diorinou v. Mezitis, 237 F.3d 133, 139 (CA. 2, 2001); see also Hilton, 159 U.S. at 203-229; Dart, 460 Mich. at 580-587.

In a slightly different context, courts often speak of "comity" when considering whether to dismiss litigation properly within their jurisdiction on the basis of pending or available litigation in an alternative, foreign forum. See Diorinou, 237 F.3d at 139 (noting, in this context, that courts frequently refer to their "defer[ence] to the foreign tribunal's adjudication of the underlying matter [a]s a matter of 'comity'"); see also Radeljak v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., 475 Mich. 598, 625; 719 N.W.2d 40 (2006) (MARKMAN, J., concurring) (noting that "'[principles of judicial comity support the dismissal of controversies whose adjudication is a matter of vital interest to the alternative, foreign forum'") (citation omitted). Although such abstention in favor of an alternative, foreign forum is sometimes described as "comity," it is more essentially akin to a dismissal on the basis of the doctrine of forum non conveniens. Diorinou, 237 F.3d at 139. In Michigan, appellate courts review for an abuse of discretion a circuit court's decision to dismiss a case on the basis of the doctrine of forum non conveniens. Radeljak, 475 Mich. at 603; Hernandez v. Ford Motor Co., 280 Mich. App. 545, 560; 760 N.W.2d 751 (2008). It thus appears that a similar abuse-of-discretion standard should govern the appellate review of a circuit court's abstention in favor of an alternative, foreign forum. See Diorinou, 237 F.3d at 139.

III

We conclude that the circuit court erred by ruling that the antisuit provisions of the New York order of rehabilitation were entitled to full faith and credit.

A

The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution, U.S. Const. art TV, § 1, provides: "Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof."

Pursuant to its authority to prescribe the manner of proving acts, records, and judicial proceedings under the Full Faith and Credit Clause, Congress has enacted 28 U.S.C. 1738, which provides in relevant part:

The records and judicial proceedings of any court of any . . . State, Territory or Possession, or copies thereof, shall be proved or admitted in other courts within the United States and its Territories and Possessions by the attestation of the clerk and seal of the court annexed, if a seal exists, together with a certificate of a judge of the court that the said attestation is in proper form.

Such . . . records and judicial proceedings or copies thereof, so authenticated, shall have the same full faith and credit in every court within the United States and its Territories and Possessions as they have by law or usage in the courts of such State, Territory or Possession from which they are taken. [ 28 U.S.C. 1738.]

In turn, § 3 of the UEFJA, MCL 691.1173, provides:

A copy of a foreign judgment[] authenticated in accordance with an act of congress or the laws of this state may be filed in the office of the clerk of the circuit court, the district court, or a municipal court of this state. The clerk shall treat the foreign judgment in the same manner as a judgment of the circuit court, the district court, or a municipal court of this state. A judgment filed under this act has the same effect and is subject to the same procedures, defenses, and proceedings for reopening, vacating, or staying as a judgment of the circuit court, the district court, or a municipal court of this state and may be enforced or satisfied in like manner.

"[A] judgment entered in another state is presumptively valid and subject to recognition in Michigan under the Full Faith and Credit Clause," Poindexter v. Poindexter, 234 Mich. App. 316, 324-325; 594 N.W.2d 76 (1999), which "'requires that a foreign judgment be given the same effect that it has in the state of its rendition,'" Blackburne, 264 Mich. App. at 620, quoting Jones v. State Farm MutAuto Ins Co., 202 Mich. App. 393, 406; 509 N.W.2d 829 (1993). "The purpose of the Full Faith and Credit Clause 'is to prevent the litigation of issues in one state that have already been decided in another.'" LME v. ARS, 261 Mich. App. 273, 285; 680 N.W.2d 902 (2004), quoting Martino v. Cottman Transmission Sys., Inc., 218 Mich. App. 54, 58; 554 N.W.2d 17 (1996).

"Although the Full Faith and Credit Clause requires recognition of the judgments of sister states, 'collateral attack may be made in the courts of this [s]tate by showing that the judgment sought to be enforced was void for want of jurisdiction in the court which issued it.'" Blackburne, 264 Mich. App. at 620-621, quoting Delph v. Smith, 354 Mich. 12, 16; 91 N.W.2d 854 (1958), in turn quoting Johnson v. DiGiovanni, 347 Mich. 118, 126; 78 N.W.2d 560 (1956); see also New York ex rel Halvey v. Halvey, 330 U.S. 610, 614; 67 S.Ct. 903; 91 L.Ed. 1133 (1947). Indeed, "the constitution does not compel Michigan courts to recognize [sister-state] judgments where the issuing court lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter or the parties." Nash v. Salter, 280 Mich. App. 104, 119-120; 760 N.W.2d 612 (2008); see also Blackburne, 264 Mich. App. at 621. "Thus, to be enforceable under the UEFJA, the foreign judgment must have been entered by a court with jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter." Id.

In order to qualify for recognition under the Full Faith and Credit Clause, a sister-state judgment must constitute a final judgment on the merits. Alabama ex rel Governor v. Engler, 85 F.3d 1205, 1209 (CA. 6, 1996); In re Forslund, 123 Vt 341, 344; 189 A.2d 537 (1963); see also Halvey, 330 U.S. at 621 (Rutledge, J., concurring).

B

"As a general rule, judgments are to be construed like other written instruments, and the legal effect of a judgment must be declared in light of the literal meaning of the language used." 46 Am. Jur. 2d, Judgments, § 74, p. 447. It is true that the New York order of rehabilitation at issue in this, case contains no language indicating that it is to be afforded extraterritorial effect beyond the boundaries of the state of New York. However, it is equally true that "a State is permitted to determine the extraterritorial effect of its judgments . . . only . . . indirectly, by prescribing the effect of its judgments within the State." Thomas v. Washington Gas Light Co., 448 U.S. 261, 270; 100 S.Ct. 2647; 65 L.Ed. 2d 757 (1980). "To vest the power of determining the extraterritorial effect of a State's own . . . judgments in the State itself risks the very kind of parochial entrenchment on the interests of other States that it was the purpose of the Full Faith and Credit Clause and other provisions of . . . the Constitution to prevent." Id. at 272. It is therefore of little significance that the New York order of rehabilitation does not indicate on its face that it is to be afforded extraterritorial effect.

C

The New York order of rehabilitation at issue in this case actually consists of two separate parts. The first part of the order declares that Frontier, a New York insurance company, has become insolvent, directs the New York Superintendent of Insurance "to take possession of Frontier's property," and authorizes the New York Superintendent of Insurance to perform various tasks that may be necessary to "rehabilitate [Frontier's] business and affairs[.]" It appears beyond dispute that this first portion of the New York order of rehabilitation is entitled to full faith and credit by the Michigan courts. Keehn, 311 Mich. at 425 (affording full faith and credit to an Illinois state court judgment finding an Illinois insurance company "to be insolvent and vesting its property and assets in a receiver for liquidation"); U. S. Truck Co. v. Pennsylvania Surety Corp., 259 Mich. 422, 424-425; 243 N.W. 311 (1932) (affording full faith and credit to a Pennsylvania state court judgment declaring that a Pennsylvania insurance company "was dissolved" and that "the insurance commissioner of Pennsylvania took and holds title to the corporate property").

However, the New York order of rehabilitation also consists of a second part. This second part, which provides that "[a] 11 persons are enjoined and restrained from commencing or prosecuting any actions, lawsuits, or proceedings against Frontier," and that "[a]ll persons are enjoined and restrained from obtaining preferences, judgments, [and] attachments or other liens . . . against Frontier's assets[.]" There is an important distinction to be drawn between the first portion of the New York order of rehabilitation, taking control of Frontier's assets and appointing the New York Superintendent of Insurance to rehabilitate Frontier's affairs, and the second portion of the order, purporting to operate as an antisuit injunction and to bar all claims against Frontier. See Cook v. Delmarva Power Light Co., 505 A.2d 447, 450 (Del Super, 1985). The United States Supreme Court has clarified that the Full Faith and Credit Clause applies with the same force to equitable decrees as it does to judgments at law Baker v. Gen Motors Corp., 522 U.S. 222, 234; 118 S.Ct. 657; 139 L.Ed. 2d 580 (1998). But this does not necessarily mean that the Full Faith and Credit Clause compels the recognition of out-of-state antisuit injunctions. See id. at 236. Indeed, "[s]tate courts that have dealt with the question have, in the main, regarded antisuit injunctions as outside the full faith and credit ambit." Id. at 236 n. 9. One reason given for this is that antisuit injunctions generally do not constitute final judgments on the merits. See Abney v. Ahney, 176 Ind App. 22, 26; 374 N.E.2d 264 (1978); see also Scoles Hay, Conflict of Laws (2d ed), § 24.21, p. 981. Another reason given is that, because antisuit injunctions act "upon the parties rather than [the] court, the forum has the power to proceed notwithstanding the sister-state injunction." Abney, 176 Ind App. at 26; see also Kleinschmidt v. Kleinschmidt, 343 111 App. 539, 546; 99 N.E.2d 623 (1951). But whatever the reason, it appears well settled that the Full Faith and Credit Clause does not compel a forum state court to recognize and enforce a sister-state antisuit injunction. See, e.g., Mahan v. Gunther, 278 111 App. 3d 1108, 1116; 663 N.E.2d 1139 (1996); Cook, 505 A.2d at 449; Abney, 176 Ind App. at 26; James v. Grand Trunk W. R. Co., 14 111 2d 356, 363-364; 152 N.E.2d 858 (1958).

Bearing these principles in mind, we conclude that the Full Faith and Credit Clause did not require the circuit court to recognize or enforce that portion of the New York order of rehabilitation purporting to bar "[a]ll persons" from "commencing or prosecuting any actions, lawsuits, or proceedings against Frontier," and from "obtaining preferences, judgments, [and] attachments or other liens . . . against Frontier's assets[.]" Because this portion of the order effectively operated as an antisuit injunction, it fell "outside the full faith and credit ambit." See Baker, 522 U.S. at 236 n. 9. Moreover, there has been no showing in this case that plaintiff was ever subject to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of New York. Because the New York Supreme Court lacked jurisdiction over plaintiff, the constitution does not compel the Michigan courts to recognize the New York order of rehabilitation as a bar to plaintiffs present claim. Nash, 280 Mich. App. at 119-120; Blackburne, 264 Mich. App. at 621. Contrary to the circuit court's ruling, we hold that the circuit court was not compelled to give full faith and credit to the antisuit provisions of the New York order of rehabilitation.

IV

Nor can we conclude that the circuit court was required to recognize and enforce the antisuit provisions of the New York order of rehabilitation pursuant to the traditional rules of interstate comity.

As explained earlier, courts use the term "comity" in a variety of different ways. See Diorinou, 237 F.3d at 139. In the traditional context, Michigan courts have used the term "comity" when considering whether to recognize and enforce a foreign or sister-state judgment. See Dart, 460 Mich. at 575; see also Graydon v. Church, 7 Mich. 36, 52 (1859).

At times, state courts have given recognition to sister-state antisuit injunctions, and in almost all such circumstances, recognition has been based on the doctrine of interstate comity. See Fuhrman v. United America Insurors, 269 N.W.2d 842, 847 (Minn, 1978) (noting that "recognition of an [antisuit] injunction issued in another state is granted strictly as a matter of comity"); Abney, 176 Ind App. at 27 (observing that "in those instances where deference has been extended [to sister-state antisuit injunctions,] it has been based on comity rather than on the constitutional command of Full Faith and Credit"). At the same time, however, it has frequently been stated that "the rules of comity do not require" recognition of foreign anti-suit injunctions. Id. at 27-28 (emphasis added).

Comity is a discretionary doctrine. See Hilton, 159 U.S. at 163-164 (explaining that "'[c]omity/in the legal sense, is neither a matter of absolute obligation, on the one hand, nor of mere courtesy and good will, upon the other"); see also Lieberthal v. Glens Falls Indemnity Co. of Glens Falls, 316 Mich. 37, 54; 24 N.W.2d 547 (1946) (BUTZEL, C.J., dissenting) (noting that when "'comity' enters . . . the discretion of the forum is greater"). In general, the doctrine of comity commands that "[t]he courts of a sister state, in a cause and between parties within their jurisdiction, are entitled to so much respect, at least, that [the Michigan courts] should not, without proof, presume them guilty of wrong and oppression." Graydon, 7 Mich. at 52. But it is well settled that "[t]he rule of comity is not allowed to operate when it will contravene the rights of a citizen of the State where the action is brought." Keehn, 311 Mich. at 425; see also Baldwin v. Circuit Judge, 101 Mich. 119, 133; 59 N.W. 432 (1894). Nor will our courts recognize a sister-state judgment under the rules of comity when doing so would contravene this state's policies or interests. Kircher v. Kircher, 288 Mich. 669, 671; 286 N.W. 120 (1939), questioned in part on other grounds Hosko v. Hosko, 385 Mich. 39 (1971).

As noted previously, there has been no showing in this case that plaintiff was ever subject to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of New York. Furthermore, recognition of the New York antisuit injunction, requiring dismissal of the present action, would certainly contravene the rights of plaintiff — a citizen of this state. See Keehn, 311 Mich. at 425. Finally, it cannot be gainsaid that Michigan has a real interest in the present action. After all, the present garnishment action has been brought by a citizen of this state and arises out of a drowning death that occurred within this state as well. For these reasons, we conclude that Michigan has a valid interest in the present action, that enforcement of the New York antisuit injunction would contravene plaintiffs rights in this case, and that recognition of the antisuit injunction is therefore not required under the traditional rules of interstate comity.

V

Nevertheless, we find that the circuit court should have abstained from the present controversy, deferring to the courts of New York on grounds similar to those underlying the doctrine of forum non conveniens.

As explained earlier, abstention in favor of an alternative, foreign forum has often been described as a species of "comity." See, e.g., Radeljak, 475 Mich. at 625 (MARKMAN, J., concurring) (noting that "'[p]rinciples of judicial comity support the dismissal of controversies whose adjudication is a matter of vital interest to the alternative, foreign forum'"); Cook, 505 A.2d at 449 (stating that "'[i]f a court stays pending proceedings or abates an action by reason of a foreign anti-suit injunction, it does so solely on the ground of comity, and not because the Federal Constitution requires it so to act'") (citation omitted). However, as explained by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, when courts abstain on such a ground and defer to an alternative, foreign forum, "they are invoking a doctrine akin to forum non conveniens." Diorinou, 237 F.3d at 139 (emphasis deleted); see also Lexington Ins Co. v. Forrest, 263 F Supp 2d 986, 1002 (ED Pa, 2003) (observing, albeit in the international context rather than the interstate context, that principles of comity "[s]imilar to the doctrine of forum non conveniens" permit a court "to exercise its discretion and dismiss a case over which it has subject matter jurisdiction in deference to the laws and interests of another [forum]").

"'Forum non conveniens' is defined as the 'discretionary power of court to decline jurisdiction when convenience of parties and ends of justice would be better served if action were brought and tried in another forum.'" Radeljak, 475 Mich. at 604, quoting Black's Law Dictionary (6th ed). It is a common-law doctrine that allows a court to decline to hear a case even though the court otherwise has jurisdiction. Radeljak, 475 Mich. at 604. Among the relevant factors to be considered in deciding whether to dismiss an action on the basis of forum non conveniens are "'the state law which must govern the case'" and the "'[p]eople who are concerned by the proceeding.'" Id. at 606, quoting Cray v. Gen Motors Corp., 389 Mich. 382, 396; 207 N.W.2d 393 (1973). It has been held that the doctrine of forum non conveniens may be raised sua sponte by the court. Commonwealth Land Title Ins Co. v. Pugh, 555 N.W.2d 576, 579 (ND, 1996); Haynes v. Carr, 379 A.2d 1178, 1180 (DC. App., 1977).

Frontier is an insolvent New York insurance company that is subject to the New York insurance law. Through the order of rehabilitation at issue in this case, the New York Supreme Court has placed its imprimatur on the complicated and intricate process of rehabilitating Frontier's affairs and restructuring Frontier's business operations. This process, which is carried out in accordance with the laws of the state of New York and under the direction of the New York Superintendent of Insurance, does not fall within the general experience of the Michigan courts. In contrast, the courts of New York are in a superior position to enforce New York's insurance laws, and New York certainly has substantial experience with its own process of rehabilitating insolvent insurers. Moreover, New York presumably has good reason for enjoining lawsuits against insolvent insurance companies like Frontier during the rehabilitation period, and principles of interstate comity persuade us to respect New York's decision with respect to this issue. Graydon, 7 Mich. at 52. It is not the place of the Michigan courts to second-guess New York's insurance laws or to undermine New York's rehabilitation procedures.

Allowing plaintiffs instant garnishment action to go forward would tend to undermine New York's attempt to rehabilitate Frontier Insurance Company — a process that has already been ongoing for several years. Given the complexity of New York's insurance laws and the purpose of New York's rehabilitation process for insolvent insurers, we conclude that the circuit court should have abstained from the present garnishment action, dismissing the matter and deferring to the courts of New York on grounds similar to those underlying the doctrine of forum non conveniens. See Radeljak, 475 Mich. at 625 (MARKMAN, J., concurring).

VI

In sum, while the circuit court erred by ruling that the antisuit provisions of the New York order of rehabilitation were entitled to full faith and credit, it reached the correct result by denying plaintiffs motion for summary disposition and granting summary disposition in favor of Frontier. Although the circuit court employed incorrect reasoning in this case, it correctly observed that "[p]laintiff['s] remedy, if any, against Frontier lies in the State of New York." It is well settled that we will not reverse when the circuit court has reached the correct result, even if it has done so for the wrong reason. Taylor v. Laban, 241 Mich. App. 449, 458; 616 N.W.2d 229 (2000).

In light of our resolution of the issues, we need not consider plaintiffs argument concerning Frontier Ins Co. v. Blaty, 454 F.3d 590 (CA. 6, 2006). Nor need we consider the alternative ground for affirmance raised by Frontier on appeal.

Affirmed. No taxable costs pursuant to MCR 7.219, a public question having been involved.
