Gloria Ormand-Ward v. Chicago Title Insurance Company

Syllabus

Gloria Ormand-Ward appeals the circuit court's order granting Chicago Title Insurance Company's Rule 12(b)(2), SCRCP, motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. Ormand-Ward argues the circuit court erred by finding it lacked personal jurisdiction over Chicago Title because it (1) consented to general jurisdiction under section 38-5-70 of the South Carolina Code (2015) by becoming a licensed insurer in this state and appointing the Director of the Department of Insurance as its attorney for service of process and (2) was subject to the specific jurisdiction of the court. We affirm.
