Wells Fargo Bank, N.a., Successor-By-Merger to Wachovia Bank, N.a., Respondent v. Fallon Properties South Carolina…

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that an email providing written notice of entry of an order or judgment triggers the thirty‑day period to serve a notice of appeal under Rule 203(b)(1) of the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules, and applied that rule prospectively, affirming the Court of Appeals’ dismissal as untimely but remanding for merits. The Court also overruled a prior decision that required email receipt to be by mail or hand delivery for Rule 203(b)(6).
