Pee Dee Health Care, P.a. v. Estate of Hugh S. Thompson

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the estate's motion for sanctions under the Frivolous Civil Proceedings Sanctions Act was untimely and affirmed the lower court's denial, but reversed the appellate court's ruling on the Rule 11 motion, finding the motion timely under a reasonableness standard and remanding for the appellate court to consider the merits of the sanctions.
