Court of Appeals of South Carolina
Decided March 30, 2016No. Appellate Case No. 2013-000752; No. 5398PublishedCited by 1 opinion
1Opinion of the CourtMcDonald, J.
In this negligence action arising from a municipal sewer system overflow, the Town of Latta (the Town) appeals the circuit court’s denial of its motions for directed verdict and judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV). On cross-appeal, Claude Graham and Vickie Graham (collectively, the Grahams) argue the circuit court erred in (1) directing a verdict in favor of the Town on Vickie Graham’s claims for inverse condemnation and trespass, and (2) ruling the Town has an easement by prescription for the sewer line located on their property. We affirm.
