The Supreme Court of South Carolina
In re: Amendments to the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure
ORDER
By Order dated May 1, 2008, the Court amended Rule 33(b), SCRCP, pursuant to a request from the South Carolina Bar. The amendment added an eighth standard interrogatory, and renumbered subsection (b)(8) as subsection (b)(9). However, the first sentence of Rule 33(a) incorrectly refers to former subsection (b)(8), rather than subsection (b)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to Article V, § 4, of the South Carolina Constitution, we hereby amend Rule 33(a), SCRCP, as set forth in the attachment to this Order. This order is effective immediately.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
