Contract – Quantum Meruit – Construction – Electrical Work – Personal Benefit

Boykin Contracting, Inc. v. Kirby Even though the defendant-promoter, Wayne Kirby, did not sign the lease on the bingo space until after the plaintiff-contractor’s work was completed, Kirby was listed as the “owner” on the building permit application, which was issued before the contractor started work, and as the “owner” on the certificate of occupancy, which was issued after the contractor completed its work. Furthermore, Kirby was the point person for all the work. Kirby personally benefited from the contractor’s work.

Criminal Practice – Aiding & Abetting – Homicide by Child Abuse – Insufficient Evidence

State v. Lewis Even though defendant and his co-defendant implicated each other, each testified that the other acted alone, and the state presented no evidence that they acted together.

Tort/Negligence – Unjust Enrichment – Unfair Trade Practices – Gambling Losses – Video Poker – In Pari Delicto – Defense Abrogated

Proctor v. Whitlark & Whitlark Based on statutes originally adopted as part of the Statutes of Anne, and an S.C. Supreme Court decision from a time when video poker gambling was legal, the court rules that the defense of in pari delicto has been abrogated with regard to losses sustained through illegal gambling.

Criminal Practice – PCR – Constitutional – Attorneys — Ineffective Assistance – No Prejudice – Armed Robbery – Identification – Alibi Instruction

Gibbs v. State Even though the show-up identification procedures used by the police were unduly suggestive and trial counsel was ineffective in failing to contemporaneously object, the two witnesses in question had previously identified petitioner as the robber from a photographic line-up; therefore, the subsequent show-up may be characterized as merely confirmatory and thus reliable, despite the suggestive procedure.

Municipal – Real Property – Subdivision Approval Process – Constitutional – Equal Protection

Town of Hollywood v. Floyd Where the defendant-developers wanted to put a subdivision on a dangerous curve on a narrow road, the plaintiff-town did not violate the developers’ equal protection rights when the town required the developers to conduct a traffic study. The developers failed to point to any similarly situated developments that received different treatment: Stono Plantation was approved long before the town adopted its ordinances; Wide Awake Park is a public park rather than a subdivision, was already developed when the town acquired it, and required consolidation rather than subdivision of lots; and Holly Grove is a low-income, “planned development” subject to a different approval process than residential subdivisions.
