Stoneledge at Lake Keowee v. IMK Development Co., LLC

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals on the statute‑of‑limitations directed‑verdict issue, affirmed the reversal of the trial court’s $5 million verdict increase, affirmed the setoff ruling, reversed the appellate calculation of the final judgment, and remanded for entry of judgment on Bostic’s negligence and breach‑of‑warranty awards. The Court noted that factual issues on the limitations period could be decided by a jury and declined to address equitable‑tolling arguments because the limitations issue was dispositive.
