Deutsche Bank v. Houck

Syllabus

This Court granted a writ of certiorari to review the court of appeals' decision in Deutsche Bank National Trust Co. v. Estate of Houck, 434 S.C. 500, 863 S.E.2d 829 (Ct. App. 2021), holding that Respondent's foreclosure claim was a permissive counterclaim and, therefore, was not barred by the doctrine of res judicata. We prospectively abolish the logical relationship test, affirm the court of appeals in result, and remand to the master-in-equity for further proceedings.
