South Carolina Coastal Conservation League v. South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control

Acting Chief Justice PLEICONES.

I respectfully dissent. Given the settlement agreement between the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League and the South Carolina Ports Authority, our ruling can have no practical effect upon the case before us. Consequently, I would find that the case is moot and would dismiss certiorari. See Willis v. Wukela, 379 S.C. 126, 128, 665 S.E.2d 171, 172 (2008) (holding a case becomes moot when a ruling will have no practical effect upon the existing controversy).
