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.
