The Callawassie Island Members Club, Inc. v. Ronnie D. Dennis and Jeanette Dennis

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the Callawassie Island Members Club’s governing documents unambiguously require a resigning member to continue paying dues, fees, and other charges until the membership is reissued, and therefore reinstated the circuit court’s summary judgment in favor of the Club. The Court also found the obligation does not violate the South Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act and remanded the case for the Court of Appeals to address the remaining issues.
