Helms Realty, Inc., Appellant v. Gibson-Wall Company, a South Carolina Partnership, and Canal Industries, Inc…

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the jury verdict for Gibson‑Wall Company, holding that the trial court correctly denied Helms Realty’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, properly refused to review the jury charge because the record was insufficient, and correctly granted summary judgment on Helms’s third‑party‑beneficiary claim. The Court explained the applicable contract and summary‑judgment standards.
