Supreme Court of South Carolina

Poly-Med, Inc. v. Novus Scientific Pte. Ltd., Novus Scientific, Inc. Novus Scientific AB

September 14, 2022

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court answered two certified questions from the Fourth Circuit, holding that South Carolina does not recognize the continuing breach theory for breach‑of‑contract statutes of limitations and that whether separate breaches give rise to new limitation periods depends on the parties’ contractual intent. The Court limited its analysis to the legal questions presented and declined to opine on the merits of the underlying federal case.
