Supreme Court of South Carolina

Stephen R. Edwards v. Scapa Waycross, Inc.

February 28, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the plaintiff satisfied South Carolina’s substantial factor causation test for asbestos products liability and that the trial court properly denied Scapa Waycross’s motion for judgment notwithstanding verdict. The Court also dismissed the writ as improvidently granted on the additur and settlement‑reallocation issues.
