Supreme Court of South Carolina

Daniel B. Dorn v. Paul S…

December 20, 2017421 S.C. 517

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that a probate court order adding a party is not a final order and therefore is not immediately appealable under S.C. Code Ann. § 62-1-308. The Court affirmed the circuit court’s dismissal of the interlocutory appeal and vacated the Court of Appeals’ analysis. The decision relied on statutory interpretation of the probate appeal provisions and rejected the application of § 14-3-330 to the order.
