February 27, 2007372 S.C. 295

Summary

The court affirmed the condemnation judgment, holding that the trial court acted within its discretion by using a special verdict form. It also held that SCDOT timely preserved its objection to the form, but that the form was not misleading or prejudicial because the jury instructions fully explained both permissible appraisal methods and how to use the form.
