27585 - Wachesaw Plantation v. Alexander

On a writ of certiorari, we reviewed the Court of Appeals' dismissal of Petitioner's case. We reverse and remand to the Court of Appeals to be considered on the merits because an issuance of a deed does not render a motion to vacate a foreclosure sale moot.

27586 - Freeman v. J.L.H. Investments

In this class action lawsuit brought under the South Carolina Dealers Act, we affirm the rulings of the trial judge and the verdict rendered by the jury in favor of car buyers against a motor vehicle dealer.

The Court granted certiorari to review the decision of the Court of Appeals in Stephens v. CSX Transp., Inc., 400 S.C. 503, 735 S.E.2d 505 (Ct. App. 2012), which affirmed a defense verdict in a negligence action involving a collision between a train and an automobile at a railroad crossing. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
