Supreme Court of South Carolina

Decided November 17, 1977No. 20545PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Gregory, Justice:

This appeal is from the order of the'lower court granting respondents’ motion for an involuntary non-suit. At issue is the trial judge’s refusal to admit into evidence certain business records offered by appellant in proof of its claim against respondents. We reverse.

The admission or exclusion of evidence at trial is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial judge, and his discretion will not be disturbed on appeal in the absence of an abuse of such discretion amounting to a manifest error of law. Wright v. Public Savings Life Insurance Co., 262 S. C. 285, 204 S. E. (2d)…
