Supreme Court of South Carolina

Hensley v. Scdss

January 29, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of South Carolina held that the circuit court's order granting class certification in Hensley v. SCDSS is not immediately appealable, vacated the Court of Appeals opinion, and dismissed the petition for a writ of certiorari. The Court reasoned that class certification orders are ordinarily not immediately appealable and that the Doe v. Howe precedent does not extend to this case.
