January 4, 2019822 S.E.2d 800

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court answered the certified question by holding that the 2005 amendment to § 15‑3‑640 did not supersede its prior decision in Ocean Winds, so the statute of repose still begins when the portion of the improvement is substantially completed, not necessarily at the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
