David M. Repko v. County of Georgetown

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the trial court’s directed verdict, holding that Georgetown County is immune from liability under the Tort Claims Act subsection 15‑78‑60(4). The Court affirmed that the County’s regulations do not create a private duty and that the gross‑negligence standard in subsection (12) does not read into subsection (4) because subsection (12) is inapplicable.
