Supreme Court of South Carolina
Callawasie v. Gregory Martin
August 3, 2022
Summary
The South Carolina Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals' grant of summary judgment to the Callawassie Island Members Club and remanded the case for further proceedings, holding that genuine issues of material fact exist regarding the Club's alleged violations of the Nonprofit Corporation Act and the contractual obligations of a suspended member. The Court found that the Club's unilateral amendment of membership rules without member approval may violate the Act and that summary judgment was inappropriate. It also reversed the award of attorney's fees tied to the summary judgment.
