Supreme Court of South Carolina

Decided June 8, 1984No. 22129Published

1DissentLewis, Chief Justice

Since, in my opinion, the judgment should be affirmed, I dissent.

In a prior appeal in this case, this Court held that a cause of action existed for violation of Section 38-37-940, South Carolina Code of Laws, 1976. 275 S. C. 155, 268 S. E. (2d) 113. This *148holding is the law of the case and appellant is, under settled law, foreclosed from rearguing an issue previously decided.

I find no trial errors and agree with the trial jury that the record amply sustains the award of both actual and punitive damages.

I would affirm the judgment and, therefore, dissent.
