Supreme Court of South Carolina

South Carolina Lottery Commission v. Glassmeyer

April 21, 2021

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the lower courts, holding that the injunction barring Glassmeyer from seeking lottery winners' personal information from any source was overly broad and improper, that the Lottery Commission may bring a declaratory‑judgment action, and that the circuit court erred in granting judgment on the pleadings because the FOIA exemption requires factual findings. The case was remanded for trial.
