Supreme Court of South Carolina

Palmetto Construction Group, LLC v. Restoration Specialists, LLC

March 10, 2021

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals’ decision that the master‑in‑equity’s order refusing to set aside an entry of default was not immediately appealable, and held that the existence of an arbitration clause or a public‑policy favoring arbitration does not alter that rule. The Court also clarified that any waiver of the arbitration right must be addressed after a final judgment.
