Kelaher, Connell & Conner, P.C. v. SC Workers' Compensation Commission

Syllabus

In this negligence action, Kelaher, Connell & Conner, P.C. (KCC) appeals the circuit court's order granting the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission's (the Commission's) motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6) of the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. On appeal, KCC argues the circuit court erred in (1) granting the Commission's motion to dismiss based on the South Carolina Tort Claims Act (the Act), (2) finding the Commission's actions were a judicial act, (3) failing to find the Commission was grossly negligent for its failure to notify KCC of the hearing, and (4) failing to hold KCC had a constitutional right to be heard. We affirm.
