Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Intent of General Assembly
SECTION 1. Pursuant to Article V, Section 4A of the Constitution of this State, the Supreme Court of South Carolina has promulgated the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules governing practice and procedure before the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, which rules were not disapproved by the General Assembly. It is the intent of the General Assembly by this legislation to amend those provisions of the 1976 Code which must be conformed to the new provisions of the Appellate Court Rules and to repeal those provisions of the 1976 Code which are replaced by the Appellate Court Rules.
Notice of appeal provision deleted
SECTION 2. Section 14-3-330(4) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(4) An interlocutory order or decree in a court of common pleas granting, continuing, modifying, or refusing an injunction or granting, continuing, modifying, or refusing the appointment of a receiver."
Procedure for appeal
SECTION 3. Section 18-9-10 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 18-9-10. An appeal may be taken to the Supreme Court in the cases mentioned in Sections 14-3-320 and 14-3-330. The procedure for taking an appeal is as provided by the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules."
Repeal
SECTION 4. Sections 14-3-650, 18-9-250, 18-9-300, and 20-7-2225 of the 1976 Code are repealed.
Conflict
SECTION 5. In event of conflict between any provision of the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules and any other statutory provisions as to appellate procedure not repealed in this act, the provision of the rules shall control. However, neither the promulgation of the rules nor this act may be construed to affect the substantive legal rights of any party to any civil or criminal matter in the courts of this State but shall affect only matters of appellate procedure.
Time effective
SECTION 6. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Approved the 5th day of June, 1991.
