Tammi Strange and Jonnie F. Hudson v. S.c. Department of Highways and Public Transportation

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s denial of the Highway Department’s directed verdict and JNOV motions, held that the Department bears the burden of proving discretionary immunity and failed to meet that burden, and found no abuse of discretion in refusing to bind the parties to a prior stipulation limiting testimony. The Court applied established discretionary‑immunity standards and affirmed the judgment in favor of the respondents.
