Supreme Court of South Carolina
Frank Gordon, Jr. v. Donald W. Lancaster
November 21, 2018425 S.C. 386
Summary
The South Carolina Supreme Court held that the ten‑year limitation on executing a judgment under S.C. Code §15‑39‑30 is a bright‑line rule that extinguishes a judgment’s active energy when the period expires, regardless of any enforcement action filed within that time. It overruled the Court’s prior decision in Linda Mc, finding that filing supplemental proceedings does not extend the limitation period. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and denied the creditor’s claim.
