Livingston v. Carolina Timber Co.
Livingston v. Carolina Timber Co.
Opinion of the Court
This is an action for payments due under a road construction contract; the jury found for the defendant; the trial judge granted a new trial for reasons not disclosed by the record. We remand.
In the case of South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation v. Mooneyham, et al., 275 S. C. 205, 269 S. E. (2d) 329 (1980), the court reviewed its decisions about new trials granted by a trial judge and concluded that a decision of a trial judge granting a new trial will not be disturbed on appeal unless his finding is wholly unsupported by evidence, or the conclusion reached has been controlled by an error of law.
Remanded.
